3. Marina Abramović

At number 3 on our list of the most famous artists and painters who are alive today we have Marina Abramović that is probably best known for her provocative installations and performances. Originally from Serbia, she has become an internationally recognized artist. She doesn’t shy away from the media, and some may remember her The Artist is Present performance as the inspiration for one of the scenes in Sex and the City when Carrie and Alexander observe a similar act. By the way, this video of her seeing her ex-lover for the first time in years (during her performance) has over 15 million views. It is absolutely moving, even when your expectations are low.
