John Perrault has a beautiful review and stories about Ana Mendieta and the Mendieta retrospective at the Whitney. Perrault knew Mendieta intimately, as he was a former teacher and friend.
Today's New York Times also has a review of the show by Holland Cotter. This second review, in my opinion, misses the point a bit, as it relies on the old art critic's crutch of writing mostly a biography about the artist to fluff up the review and add words.
An earlier New York Times review by Lesli Cahmi can be read here.
The show comes to Washington, DC later this year at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. I will review the show when it comes to DC.
