She greatly appreciates how punctual Germans are, says Marina Abramović on the other end of the video call. The 78-year-old Serbian artist is in a very good mood, sharp-tongued, and will laugh frequently during the conversation. She is calling from New York, where she has lived for 20 years. This week, Abramović received the Praemium Imperiale art award, considered the Nobel Prize for art.
