Marina Abramovic launches beauty collection All about the project and who are the other artists who have done it in the past

It seems that no celebrity can resist the temptation to enter the beauty industry, exploring makeup, skincare, haircare, and wellness in every aspect. Not only influencers, singers, or movie stars but also artists. The latest to join the extensive list is Marina Abramović, who has just launched Marina Abramović Longevity Method, a line of health and wellness products. She did it in partnership with Dr. Nonna Brenner, a trained medical doctor and psychiatrist who, at her renowned longevity center in Fuschl am See, Austria, focuses on regeneration and healing using oriental, esoteric, and traditional therapies incorporating science and physiotherapy.

Abramović attributes her recovery from Lyme disease and her youthful appearance at the age of 77 to Dr. Brenner and her mix of leeches, immune system strengthening, intake of drops, and various types of energy treatments. Despite a pulmonary embolism that nearly killed her after knee surgery last May, she survived a coma, three surgeries, nine blood transfusions, and six weeks of intensive therapy, thanks in part to Brenner, who took care of her once the worst was over. "I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, I sleep eight hours a day, and I have a lover who is 21 years younger (Todd Eckert)," she says, revealing her beauty secrets. The rest is thanks to Dr. Brenner.

For Salvador Dalí, the sense of smell was the most magical of the five senses, "the one that best gives the idea of immortality." For this reason, and with a forward-thinking sense of business, in 1981, he licensed his name to Jean Pierre Grivory, founder of Cofinlux, for a line of fragrances. Famous for his eccentricity, he is said to have perfumed himself with fish glue and cow dung to maintain his aura of individuality, a mix of odors very different from his official perfume launched in 1983, which combined jasmine, the favorite flower of Gala Dalí, his wife and muse, with notes of rose. The bottle was inspired by the artwork Apparition of the Face of Aphrodite of Cnidus in a Landscape, particularly elements like the nose and mouth of the goddess of Beauty and Love. From that moment on, the mouth became the symbol of Salvador Dalí fragrances and continues to be present in most bottles of the brand.
