The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen & Marina Abramovic

Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairytale is reimagined by pioneering performance artist Marina Abramović in this striking new edition. Known for her groundbreaking work in performance art, Abramović brings a deeply personal perspective to The Ugly Duckling, a story she identified with as a child.

Originally published in 1843, Andersen’s tale of transformation, self-discovery, and acceptance has touched generations. In this edition, Abramović’s expressive pen and crayon illustrations breathe new life into the classic text, adding emotional depth and raw beauty to the story’s timeless message.

This volume is the second in a series of Hans Christian Andersen stories illustrated by contemporary artists, following the acclaimed The Little Mermaid by Yayoi Kusama.
