In a word, Abramovic is incomparable, as a performance artist and installationist.
So, what's "Abramovic" anyway? Croatian, Serbian? Who knows and who cares? Marina's name could be Russian. Anyhow, she herself is certainly Balkan. And what's a Marina? A place where you keep your yacht, among other things.
Whatever. Marina Abramovic is an extremely good, contemporary artist. So watch these images of her work a while: the humorous, the serious, and the horrible. Enjoy them all if you can, in Wonderment.

"This body of Modern
and Contemporary artists' sites brings insight into the depth and scope of
extraordinary artists' oeuvres, and it serves as a research tool for students,
faculty, museum curators, researchers, dealers and collectors.
Artist Works Catalogues reflect the dynamic nature of the Web, and our goal is
to present a growing body of artists' online monographs. Unlike published print
monographs and catalogues raisonnà ©s, these are living catalogues, which will be
constantly updated as artists create new works and estates release additional
information. Artnet offers these
catalogues free to the public as an educational resource. Simply click on an individual artist's image
to begin, and check back often to browse new catalogues."
