Created exclusively for the RA Editions programme, this new sculpture by Marina Abramović Hon RA is based on a drawing made by the artist whilst living in Australia.
Produced as an edition of fifty in cast and blackened iron, Abramović has painted the eyes individually by hand, giving each rock its own unique character. The sculptures are initialled and numbered on the base and presented in a stamped cedar wood box. Each is accompanied by a card signed by the artist, as well as a certificate of authenticity.
Due to its hand-finished nature, each sculpture is unique.
We have partnered with Own Art to make starting and building an art collection more accessible. Buy from selected artworks and spread the cost of your purchase over ten months with an interest-free loan.
'In 1979, Ulay and I lived in the Central Australian desert with aboriginal tribes. Once, a medicine man walked us through the desert showing us some sights of the dream land. He stopped and stood in front of a rock, sang to the rock, danced around it, and then gently cleaned the rock by brushing it with leaves. He introduced the rock to us as his grandfather. Since then rocks, for me, have eyes, they have a memory and they are living entities. In Australia, iron rocks have a very special meaning in aboriginal culture. This was my inspiration to create a little rock looking at you out of black iron.’ - Marina Abramović
