In this episode, Candy and Eugene welcome Special Agent Sarah back to the podcast.
On September 8, 1985, Ana Mendieta, a 36 year old artist well-known for her feminist-focused work, died after plunging from a 34th story window in New York. Her husband, Carl Andre, also a well-known artist, was present at the time, and was subsequently charged with her murder. In 1988, he was acquitted of wrong-doing in her death.
The story of Mendieta's death has lingered, especially since the 2022 Death of an Artist podcast. The Agents discuss the case at length in today's episode.
