Marina and the Curse of the Royal Yugoslavian Academy of Art: by Miriam Elia

With full colour illustrations and simple text, this book tells the well loved ancient folklore story of Marina, a simple traditional forest dwelling Yugoslavian mother of many children, who led a double life as a misunderstood radical performance artist.

This book was commissioned for a specially curated shop by artist, Marina Abramović as part of her forthcoming solo exhibition at the Royal Academy in London from September 2023 to January 2024. This is the first ever solo show by a female artist in the main galleries of this historic institution since opening in 1768. This title will tour with Marina’s show for 5 years, internationally.
