Known for her performances, during which numerous models stage the ritual of being and appearing, Vanessa Beecroft (Genoa, 1969), is one of the most internationally renowned Italian artists. Her events involve the audience in a direct confrontation, pushing to the limit the tension of a happening that is simultaneously unique, real and abstract.
This artist book is the most complete monograph of the artist to date and features a new large-scale performance, photographic and video works, critical text and a detailed bio-bibliography.
