“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.
