Publishers Weekly, starred review
In her new memoir, <i>Walk Through Walls</i>, [Marina Abramovic] exposes herself as <b>provocatively </b>and <b>fearlessly</b> in language as she has done for many years in her largely nonverbal performance art. Her <b>page-turner</b> of a narrative [is] at times <b>shocking</b>...<b>genuinely moving</b>, and always <b>coruscatingly honest</b>.
Elle
<p>Marina has lived like an <b>unstoppable force of nature</b>, with the kind of <b>power </b>that leaves me feeling <b>breathless </b>and <b>disquieted</b>-while at the same time <b>profoundly impressed</b>, <b>awed</b>, and <b>inspired</b>. As I turn the pages of her book, I hear her voice in my head, as if she were actually narrating the words. . . Her voice is <b>soothing</b>, <b>calm</b>, and <b>centered</b>. It belies the<b> trauma</b>, <b>fear</b>, and <b>darkness</b> coiled at the root of her impulse to <b>express</b> and <b>expunge</b>.</p>
Annie Lennox, Vanity Fair
<b>Candidly</b> and <b>vividly </b>sharing her <b>personal struggles</b> as well as her <b>artistic</b> and <b>spiritual discoveries</b>, Abramovic presents a <b>uniquely intense</b> and <b>affecting</b> art memoir.

'Her bravest work of performance art to date . . . Rawly intimate' Observer
This memoir spans Marina Abramovic's five decade career, and tells a life story that is almost as exhilarating and extraordinary as her groundbreaking performance art. Taking us from her early life in communist ex-Yugoslavia, to her time as a young art student in Belgrade in the 1970s, where she first made her mark with a series of pieces that used the body as a canvas, the book also describes her relationship with the West German performance artist named Ulay who was her lover and sole collaborator for 12 years.
Abramovic has collaborated with stars from Lady Gaga to Jay-Z, James Franco and Willem Dafoe. Best known for her recent pieces 'The Artist is Present' and '512 Hours', this book is a fascinating insight into the life of one of the most important artists working today, and the woman who has been described as 'the grandmother of performance art'.
