Ugly Print Appraisal

Limited Edition Print by Marina Abramović x UGLY

This item is a contemporary fine art print, a collaborative work between the world-renowned performance artist Marina Abramović and the creative studio UGLY. The piece features a striking blue and dark-toned photographic composition that appears to be a symmetrical, mirrored image of human forms, likely Abramović herself, against a pool or architectural background. The print is executed on a specialized, textured paper that resembles traditional washi or handmade Japanese paper, characterized by visible fibrous inclusions and a subtle sheen. The central image is rectangular with a prominent cool-blue palette and deep shadows, creating a high-contrast, surreal aesthetic. The paper features wide margins and is presented on a larger backing sheet of tan kraft or archival protective paper. The condition appears fair, with visible curling at the edges from being stored rolled, and some minor rippling across the surface of the thin, textured substrate. No specific edition number or signature is immediately visible in the photograph, though these prints typically come from limited runs associated with high-profile artistic collaborations. The craftsmanship is evident in the choice of high-quality, textured paper which adds a tactile, artisanal dimension to the digital or photographic image. This piece likely dates to the early 2020s, reflecting contemporary trends in artist-lifestyle brand intersections.
