Auf dem Weg unter die Top 500: Buthe im Global Ranking
Works of Marina Abramovic, perhaps the most important performance artist forever, appear extremly seldon in the art market. Only about 100 pieces have been sold at auction, at prices between 20.000 to 300.000 Euros for unique works. Valuable prints and multiples are even more rare. "Vinyl", a limited edition of Serpentine Galleries, therefore looks like a perfect start for young collectors. It is the result of a collaboration between The Vinyl Factory with the Serpentine Gallery and Marina Abramović. The vinyl features a recording of Abramović performing her "An Artist's Life Manifesto", recorded at the Serpentine Galleries on the eve of her exhibition "512 Hours" and costs 275 Pound Sterling or 360 Euro plus VAT. .
