Description
In connection with the exhibition Marina Abramovic - The Cleaner, a new edition of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Ugly Duckling, featuring illustrations by Marina Abramovic.
I had a strong personal desire to illustrate Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling',
reflects pioneering performance artist Marina Abramovic. 'As a young child and growing
adolescent, I felt a complete identification with the story. I, too, was the ugly duckling.' Andersen's story of the ugly duckling that endures torment and loneliness before
becoming a beautiful swan has resonated with readers since it was first published in 1843.
Now, in this beautiful new edition of the classic fairy tale, Abramovic reimagines the story
by adding new pen and crayon illustrations to the original text.
This volume is the second publication in a series of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales
illustrated by contemporary artists, following the huge success of 2016's The Little
Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen & Yayoi Kusama.
