Also known as

Marina Abramović

Marina Abramovic, born in Belgrade in 1946, is a Serbian conceptual and performance artist whose practice centers on the body, duration, endurance, and the encounter between performer and audience. Public authority records establish a durable identity for the artist, while the collected descriptions emphasize investigations of physical limits and mental possibility. Performance art is therefore the clearest context for understanding her work, with body art and endurance art representing closely related approaches. Collectors may encounter her name in auction records associated with a performance-based practice, but the collected source pack does not establish which physical formats, editions, projects, or series dominate those sales. For appraisal purposes, an item should first be connected to the correct Marina Abramovic identity and then examined for its specific relationship to a documented work or performance. An artist-name match alone cannot establish authorship, authorization, authenticity, or value.

Common works and media

The collected sources firmly associate Abramovic with performance, body art, and endurance art, particularly work examining performer-audience relationships and physical or mental limits. They do not establish which saleable formats—such as photographs, recordings, editions, documents, or other objects—are most common in her auction market. Each encountered item should therefore be classified from its own cataloguing and documentation rather than assigned a medium from the artist's reputation alone.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public artist page indicates an auction-record footprint for Marina Abramovic, but the collected source pack contains no lot-level descriptions, realized prices, edition data, provenance histories, or condition reports. It therefore supports only a cautious association with performance-related and conceptual art, not conclusions about prices or market direction. Any appraisal should establish exactly what the item is and how it relates to the artist's documented performance practice before consulting comparable public sales. Relevant comparisons should come from records with sufficiently similar work types and reliable cataloguing. The present evidence does not support a forecast, scarcity claim, or broad trend statement.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Performance-related and conceptual art

Value drivers

  1. Documented relationship of an item to Abramovic's performance-based practice
  2. Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices when available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack contains no lot-level auction descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance histories, edition details, or auction-house cataloguing.
  • The available evidence does not establish which physical formats, editions, projects, or series appear most frequently at auction.
  • No price forecast, market trend, scarcity claim, or attribution conclusion should be inferred from the artist name or record count alone.
