Here’s a preview from a new podcast, Death of the Artist, that explores a tragedy in the art world.

Host Helen Molesworth revisits Mendieta’s death, taking a closer look at how she might have fallen out of the window of Carl’s 34th floor New York apartment, and the following trial which has divided the art world since 1985.
