The Ana Mendieta podcast is indeed great.
I’ve only listened to the first two episodes, but I’m hooked so far. I also have a book recommendation along the same lines: Everybody Thought We Were Crazy about the tumultuous relationship between Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward was full of 60s art world stories and is a real page turner.
OMG!!! That BBC TV mistaken identity interview is hilarious!
+1!!!
The Schiap article is terrific. What a woman ahead of her time.
My daughter and I are going to see the Didion auction items in Hudson tomorrow – really looking forward to seeing the items in person. I’ve always been fascinated by her. I’m sure it will all be highly bid up, so not getting my hopes up, but would love one of her books!
