Disrespect for the Dead
I don’t think it can be said that Mendieta or Andre is treated with respect here. If one assumes the latter is guilty, then I suppose respect is unwarranted. But Molsworth makes little effort to provide evidence of his guilt other than to malign his character. It feels as if even better art or a more agreeable personality or identity would have been enough to persuade her of his innocence. That’s one thing. What I find more disappointing and less expected is how others are allowed to speak on behalf of the “dead artist” in question. Woody Allen has a living accuser, who can speak for themselves. There’s no check on art-world narcissism here, despite the supposed exploration. The show closes with Mendieta speaking to Molsworth from beyond the grave, but of course this is Molsworth’s external dialogue and prejudices. I was left with only confirmation that art world insiders will always care most for themselves

More reviews of Death of an Artist
Feminists rever Solanas who shot Warhol. He also died from GI problems from the shooting. If she is not cancelled then Andre should not. The narrator is incredibly annoying and repetitive.

This is truly my favourite podcast. So well researched, reflected and articulated. Not only is this podcast engaging I have also learned a great deal about art, the art world, and people. I am eagerly awaiting more seasons. Thank you.

This is an important story that needs to be told (albeit by a some times tedious narrator) BUT the ads are AWFUL and endless…and this is from a person that fast forwarded through all of them! I don’t think I’ve ever heard a podcast with so many ads. Anyway, “lock him up!”
