No artist\u2019s death continues to spur quite as much talk, furor, and sadness within the art world as that of\u00a0Ana Mendieta<\/a>, who fell out of a window on September 8, 1985, at the age of 36.<\/p>\n

At the time of her death, Mendieta had been married to the artist\u00a0Carl Andre<\/a>, who was subsequently charged with her murder. He faced trial three years later, in 1988, and was acquitted.<\/p>\n

But the results of the trial have done little to change the minds of many, with feminists across the globe continuing to allege that Andre killed Mendieta. And with Andre himself\u00a0having died at 88 on Wednesday<\/a>, those theories have resurfaced anew.<\/p>\n

Below is a guide to the legal proceedings surrounding the death of Mendieta and the allegations that Andre faced.<\/p>\n

Who was Ana Mendieta?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many, Mendieta is now considered one of the foremost artists of the feminist art movement of the 1970s and \u201980s, despite her short career. Her performances, sculptures, photographs, and films often sought to understand the relationship between the natural world and her own body, with an implicit emphasis on\u00a0her experience as a Latina woman living in diaspora.<\/p>\n

Born in Havana in 1948, Mendieta was sent to the US in 1961 by her parents via an American initiative that migrated Cuban children fleeing Fidel Castro\u2019s regime. She ended up in Iowa, where she attended college and made a body of work about the rape of women.<\/p>\n

Her \u201cSiluetas\u201d series, produced starting in 1973, included pieces in which she would inset a corporeal form in the landscape of countries like Mexico and elsewhere, then set it on fire or leave it exposed to the elements. (Films and photographs act as the remaining documentation of these works.) Borne out of an investigation into pre-Colombian sites in Mexico, these pieces also paid homage to Afro-Cuban religions like Santeria.<\/p>\n

Who was Carl Andre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre, who was born in 1935 in Quincy, Massachusetts, is among the artists central to the Minimalist art movement of the 1960s. He produced sculptures that relied on industrial materials, like rolled magnesium plates and firebricks, that he then arranged according to strict rubrics.<\/p>\n

Many, including Andre himself, have stated that his works are characterized by a cold, unfeeling quality. He once said his goal was to \u201cget down to something which \u2026 resembles some kind of blankness,\u201d a nod to how he wanted to move beyond the aesthetic qualities of his materials, toward the concepts they embodied.<\/p>\n

A number of Andre sculptures are exhibited on the floor, without pedestals, lending them a plainspoken, unadorned look. But during the \u201970s, some claimed that the institutions showing them had already lent them too much credence. When the Tate in London acquired one for $1,000 in 1976, for example, an uproar followed. Yet these days, Andre is accepted by institutional figures as a fixture of the era, with the Dia Art Foundation organizing a retrospective for him in 2014.<\/p>\n

How did Andre and Mendieta become romantically involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two met at a 1979 panel held at A.I.R. Gallery, the New York feminist space with which Mendieta had by then been involved. (She would go on to leave A.I.R. in 1982.) Andre was at the time far better known in New York than Mendieta. He was older than her as well, by about 13 years.<\/p>\n

Andre and Mendieta continued their relationship and ended up marrying in 1985, the year that she died. As curator Helen Molesworth recounted on her 2022 podcast\u00a0Death of an Artist<\/a><\/em>, some in the New York art world recalled that they got into fights.<\/p>\n

How did Mendieta die?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the early hours of September 8, 1985, Mendieta fell from the window of the New York apartment where she and Andre lived. Andre called 911; a recording of the call was played at his 1988 trial. \u201cMy wife is an artist, and I\u2019m an artist, and we had a quarrel about the fact that I was more, eh, exposed to the public than she was. And she went to the bedroom, and I went after her, and she went out the window,\u201d he said on that call.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0a 1988\u00a0Village Voice<\/em>\u00a0report<\/a>, when the police arrived at his apartment at 5:40 a.m., Andre did not seem drunk. \u201cI think she jumped,\u201d he told one police officer, but when pressed about how he knew that, Andre did not elaborate.<\/p>\n

How did the police initially begin their investigation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At around 8 a.m. that day, police interviewed Andre at his apartment. He told them that Mendieta had been drinking heavily the night before, and that they had watched television and movies together. She went to bed at 3 a.m., Andre said, and that when he went into the bedroom, she was not there. He did not explain what he thought might have happened to her. Police officers reported that Andre had a mark on his nose, which the artist said resulted from a door banging against him following a gust of wind while he was on his balcony days earlier.<\/p>\n

Contradictions seemed to emerge when Andre\u2019s written statement was taken. In his written statement, he did not say that he and Mendieta had an argument, something that he did note on the 911 call, and he did not say her death was a suicide. The police also questioned the timing of the call, saying that it should\u2019ve been made around 4 a.m. instead of 5:29 a.m.<\/p>\n

Less than 24 hours later, Andre was asked to make a video statement. \u201cOh shit, this is serious,\u201d he said. \u201cI want an attorney.\u201d A lawyer did show up, keeping Andre from having to make a video statement, but when he refused to be photographed, he was arrested. He spent two nights on Riker\u2019s Island, and was bailed out after a group of friends\u2014among them the artist Frank Stella, whom Andre had known since the \u201950s\u2014raised $250,000.<\/p>\n

How did the New York art world respond?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many have claimed that it split the city\u2019s art scene in two, with artists, curators, dealers, and writers choosing sides. The death of Mendieta became an important cause for feminist artists in the city, many of whom had known her personally. Some raised the possibility that her death was not a suicide, and others claimed that there had been a \u201cwhisper campaign\u201d to have her viewed as a \u201cloony Cuban,\u201d as one attendee did during her memorial service.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was totally blame the victim, but with an extra twist,\u201d the scholar B. Ruby Rich said on Molesworth\u2019s 2022 podcast. \u201cIt was completely racist. It was constructing this idea of the hot-blooded Latina who drank and misbehaved and quote-unquote went out a window.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Andre, some powerful figures continued to rally behind him. His gallerist Paula Cooper, who continues to represent him today, exhibited one of his sculptures for the entire duration of his trial in 1988.<\/p>\n

What happened at the trial?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to the 1988 trial, Andre had been indicted three times for murder. Once the case finally headed to court, a frequent point of inquiry was the differential between Andre\u2019s level of fame and Mendieta\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Andre specifically requested a bench trial, an unusual move for a murder trial; instead of a jury deciding the verdict, a judge did so. The\u00a0Village Voice<\/em>\u00a0reported that it did not receive as large an audience as ones held at the same time. The\u00a0Village Voice<\/em>\u00a0said a joke about the proceedings was repeated by many: \u201cCarl got a Minimalist trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andre\u2019s lawyer stuck to the explanation that her death was a suicide, saying, \u201cShe went to the window to open it. She got up on that sill to open it, she slammed the window open with both hands, her body swiveling, and she lost her balance. She hurled out of the window accidentally.\u201d<\/p>\n

But a doorman at the building said he heard a cry of \u201cno, no, no\u201d not long before her body hit the ground. \u201cHe was able to overpower her and caused her to fall from the window,\u201d said the assistant district attorney.<\/p>\n

What was the verdict?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre was acquitted on charges of murder on February 12, 1988. \u201cThe defendant\u2019s guilt was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt,\u201d the judge presiding over the case said.<\/p>\n

Though reports on the proceedings state that Andre was largely nonreactive as the verdict was read, he said as he was exiting, \u201cJustice was served. Justice was served.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mendieta\u2019s family members continued to tell the media that Andre was a murderer. \u201cI know he killed my daughter,\u201d her mother, Raquel Oti Mendieta,\u00a0told the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0at the time.<\/p>\n

What was the response to Andre\u2019s acquittal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The verdict enraged many, in particular the feminist artists who came to see Mendieta as iconic. When O.J. Simpson went to trial for the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown in 1995, the Guerrilla Girls, a famed feminist collective, created a poster that compared Andre to him. \u201cWhat do these men have in common?\u201d the poster asked. \u201cEvery 15 seconds, another woman is assaulted by her husband or boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

How did Andre respond to the trial after it ended?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre ended up spending a significant amount of time abroad, where, as Calvin Tomkins wrote in\u00a0a 2011\u00a0New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0profile<\/a>, \u201cthe tragedy seemed to have no effect on his reputation.\u201d Andre generally did not comment publicly on Mendieta\u2019s death for years after the trial.<\/p>\n

When Tomkins queried Andre about her death, he did not expect to receive an answer. And yet, Andre did end up reiterating his prior story, telling Tomkins, \u201cIt will be with me for the rest of my life. But it\u2019s something I don\u2019t dwell on.\u201d<\/p>\n

He credited his current wife, Melissa Kretschmer, with having \u201csaved his life.\u201d She said she was devoted to protecting him from what she called \u201cthe haters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andre\u2019s career does not appear to have been significantly hindered in the long run. His work continues to be shown in major museums, and the Dia Art Foundation mounted an Andre retrospective in 2014. In 2013, he figured in the Venice Biennale, marking his second appearance in the world\u2019s biggest art exhibition. As of 2024, Ana Mendieta has never been included in the Venice Biennale.<\/p>\n

How has the art world reflected on the death of Mendieta?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many Latinx, Latin American, and feminist artists, the death of Mendieta has continued to be bruising, painful event. As a result, when Andre shows are mounted, protests tend to follow.<\/p>\n

In 2015, during his Dia retrospective, performers walked around the gallery for 20 minutes and cried to honor Mendieta. Marisa Crawford, who performed in that event,\u00a0wrote in\u00a0Hyperallergic<\/em>, \u201cAs I walked around the show, my tears came more quickly than I expected. My anxiety about the day came to a head as I looked around at Carl Andre\u2019s sparse, linear art \u2014 metal, wood, and other industrial materials arranged in crisp geometric rows and shapes. They felt to me in that moment like elegant exercises in cool logic, a stark contrast to Mendieta\u2019s violent death, and to the messy tears we cried in her honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2018, in a sign that Mendieta\u2019s art had officially infiltrated the mainstream, the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0retroactively gave her an obituary. Its first sentence reads: \u201cAna Mendieta\u2019s art was sometimes violent, often unapologetically feminist and usually raw.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2022, curator Helen Molesworth devoted an entire podcast to the death of the Mendieta, the trial of Andre, and the fallout that resulted. The podcast was partly spurred by her own experiences at MOCA Los Angeles, which had traveled the Andre show and witnessed protests of its own. (She was\u00a0fired by the museum\u00a0in 2018, and is thought to have objected to the Andre exhibition behind closed doors.) Molesworth\u00a0told\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/em>, \u201cWhat\u2019s devastating about the story at its largest level is that our justice system doesn\u2019t protect people without power.\u201d<\/p>\n
