Hey Hollywood crime scene fans, we're shaking things up today and bringing you a preview of a new

true crime podcast we're really excited about. It's called Death of an Artist. In the early hours

of September 8th 1985, up-and-coming artist Anna Mandietta fell from the 34th floor window of

the New York City apartment she shared with her husband, the famous sculptor Carl Andre.

Carl was charged with murder and the art world split into. There were those who couldn't believe

such an artistic genius was capable of that kind of violence and there were those who blamed him

for Anna's death. Carl and Anna were a textbook example of opposites attract, a white man known

for minimalist sculptures and a Cuban woman breaking barriers for performance art. It could have

been a love story between two fascinating and talented people but instead it's a tragedy.

In Death of an Artist, Art Historian Helen Molesworth revisits Anna's untimely death,

the trial that followed and both the protest and silence that have accompanied the story ever since.

In this preview we hear a reenactment of the distressing 911 call from Carl,

the night of Anna's death just nine short months after they wed. You can hear the full episode

and follow Anna's story by searching for Death of an Artist wherever you get your podcast.

We've arrived at the threshold of our terrible story.

about that evening. Here are a few things we know for certain. We know that Anna never moved her

things as she had planned to. We know that the unhappy couple spent the evening at Carl's place

and apartment on the 34th floor of a relatively new luxury high-rise in Greenwich Village.

That night, like New Yorkers everywhere, they ordered Chinese food and watched TV.

Then, sometime after 5am, a passerby on the street below heard a woman scream,

no, no, no. A moment later there was a sound like an explosion on the roof of the deli
