Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid Recreate Famous Performance Art Pieces

When Kendall Jenner paid homage to some of the greatest performance art works of all time for *W'*s 10th Anniversary Art issue, it was with a very big wink. But that didn't mean she didn't do her homework. Here are 10 of the most famous performance art pieces of all time, including four that Jenner tried to replicate. Watch Kendall Jenner performance art above, but make sure to check out and compare 'em to the originals. How did you think Jenner stacked up?

Marina Abramović's The Artist is Present
It was the blockbuster 2010 exhibition that spawned the film that led to the crossover stardom of the now-ubiquitous Abramović, like it or not. Try sitting completely silent and still for 736 hours and 30 minutes in the MoMA lobby.

Marina Abramović and Ulay's AAA-AAA
Before Abramović blew up in pop culture, she made work with her ex, Ulay, collaborating on Relation Works for more than 10 years. One infamous example: a screaming match between two lovers performed at a television studio for no audience in 1977.

Yoko Ono's Cut Piece
Back in 1964, Yoko Ono asked the audience to cut the clothes off her body, in an affront to the male gaze and traditional representation of women’s bodies in art. Today it’s a seminal piece of performance art that’s no less relevant.

Chris Burden's Shoot
In 1971, Chris Burden had a friend shoot him in the arm as a performance art piece. Meant in part as protest against Vietnam, the performance was staged in front of a small group of friends in a gallery, but, of course, became notorious in no time.
