Performance Art
Performance art is an art form that combines visual art with actions performed by the artist or other participants.
Performance art, coined in the 1960s, encompasses a wide variety of live presentations by artists, such as actions, movements, gestures, and choreography. Performance art is typically live or recorded, and spontaneous or scripted.
Although the terms 'performance' and 'performance art' gained widespread recognition in the 1970s, the origins of performance in visual arts can be traced back to futurist shows and dada cabarets in the 1910s.

Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.

Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
