Comprehensive book by Robert Katz about the accidental death of Ana Mendieta, the wife of Carl Andre. "On September 8, 1985, the beautiful thirty-six-year-old sculptor Ana Mendieta plunged to her death from the thirty-fourth floor Greenwich Village apartment she shared with her husband, the well-known and highly regarded artist Carl Andre. Police investigators, having learned that Mendieta was desperately afraid of heights and that the position of the window made an accident unlikely, immediately charged Andre with her murder. Mendieta's death and Andre's trial stunned and divided the art world. Although Carl was acquitted in February 1988, the mystery of Ann's death and its circumstances has never been resolved. ... 'Naked by the Window' uncovers the story of two generations of artists, of two fierce and arrogant temperaments, of two unforgettable people, and why only one could survive." -- from book's dust-jacket flap text.
