Description from the seller
RESERVE PRICE: €99
Marina Abramović’s artist poster, created in 2003 within Utopia Station, a project presented at the 50th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
Utopia Station, curated by Molly Nesbit, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rirkrit Tiravanija, was conceived as an international and collective artistic project, in which installations, encounters, performances and graphic works contributed to the construction of a true “station” dedicated to the idea of utopia.
A fundamental component of the project consisted of a series of 139 artist posters, produced with the contribution of numerous protagonists of international contemporary art. This exemplar belongs to that series and is the poster of Marina Abramović, Cutting Through the Ignorance.
The sheet is printed on thin-weight paper and was intended for display within the exhibition as an integral part of the visual component of Utopia Station. It is therefore an artist poster produced for the Biennale project, and not a subsequent decorative reproduction of the image.
The work depicts Marina Abramović immersed in vegetation while holding a large knife. The image features the phrase in yellow lettering:
