“I never thought about how to sell performance; for most of my career I’ve done it for free”, Marina Abramovic. This quote comes from an article on Sotheby's website, "MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ: A WOMAN’S WORLD", by Amah-Rose Abrams, May 10, 2021. Basically, Ms. Abramovic is a household name that I never knew. At least the article starts out saying so. I admit, I only read the first paragraph then started looking at the images and highlighted quotes eventually coming to the quote you see here. That quote made me stop and think – Ms. Abramovic had money or access to it all those years. She could afford to do “it for free”. She was not the artist I was looking for. And you are correct, I do not know who the artist I am looking for is. What I do know is that the artist is not well known but sells their artwork for a comfortable living. I just need to keep looking – I will find them. I will learn from them.
Well, you might as well have a look at my website since you’re here. Tell me what you think of the artwork on it.
