Carl Andre
Carl Andre (September 16, 1935 – January 24, 2024) was an American minimalist artist recognized for his ordered linear and grid format sculptures. His sculptures range from large public artworks (such as ''Stone Field Sculpture'', 1977, in Hartford, Connecticut, and ''Lament for the Children'', 1976, in Long Island City, New York), to large interior works exhibited on the floor (such as ', 1969), to small intimate works (such as ', 1989, and ''7 Alnico Pole'', 2011). In 1985 his third wife, contemporary artist Ana Mendieta, fell from their 34th-floor apartment window and died. Neighbors heard an argument and Mendieta shouting "no" immediately before the fall. He was acquitted of a second-degree murder charge in a 1988 bench trial, causing uproar among feminists in the art world; supporters of Mendieta have protested at his subsequent exhibitions. Early life Andre was born on September 16, 1935, in Quincy, Massachusetts, the youngest of the three children of George (a mast ...

Interview (magazine)
''Interview'' is an American magazine founded by pop artist Andy Warhol and journalist John Wilcock in 1969. The magazine, nicknamed "The Crystal Ball of Pop," features interviews of and by celebrities. Background In 1965, pop artist Andy Warhol announced his retirement from painting to focus on filmmaking. After he survived an assassination attempt in 1968, he began to concentrate on building a business enterprise. When Warhol tried to obtain press permits for the New York Film Festival, he was denied. Therefore, having a formal method for obtaining press passes was one of the reasons he founded ''inter/VIEW: A Monthly Film Journal'' with British journalist John Wilcock in 1969. The magazine, which was headquartered at Warhol's Factory, started as a film review before shifting its emphasis to pop culture. "I felt there was a need for an easygoing, conversational magazine,' said Warhol. "Every other paper is full of bad news, but we publish only good." ''Interview'' was ...

Artforum
''Artforum'' is an international monthly magazine specializing in contemporary art. The magazine is distinguished from other magazines by its unique 10½ × 10½ inch square format, with each cover often devoted to the work of an artist. Notably, the ''Artforum'' logo is a bold and condensed iteration of the Akzidenz-Grotesk font, a feat for an American publication to have considering how challenging it was to obtain fonts favored by the Swiss school via local European foundries in the 1960s. ''Artforum'' is published by Artforum Media, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation. John P. Irwin, Jr named the magazine after the ancient Roman word ''forum'' hoping to capture the similarity of the Roman marketplace to the art world's lively engagement with public debate and commercial exchange. The magazine features in-depth articles and reviews of contemporary art, as well as book reviews, columns on cinema and popular culture, personal essays, commissioned artworks and essays, a ...
