You’ve heard of Jackson Pollock. But you may have never heard of Lee Krasner, an artist, Pollock’s wife, and the woman who made him famous – and in doing so, changed everything about the landscape of modern art. This is a story of love, of power, of alcoholism, of brutality, and an ill-timed death. This 6-episode series, hosted by curator, author, and broadcaster Katy Hessel, offers an inside look into two of the greatest artists of the 20th century, and how their vision impacts ours. And listen back to season one, where host Helen Molesworth revisits the artist Ana Mendieta’s death and the trial that followed, and interrogates both the silence and the protest that have accompanied her story ever since. Death of an Artist Season 1 is a co-production between Pushkin Industries, Somethin’ Else, and Sony Music Entertainment. Death of an Artist Season 2 is a co-production between Pushkin Industries and Samizdat Audio.

episode 2: From Queen of the Con: The Rich Girl
Here's a preview from another podcast we think you'll like, Queen of the Con. Danielle Miller lived a privileged ‘Gossip Girl’ lifestyle growing up in Manhattan and attending a fancy private school. Her mom was a Rockette; her dad was president of the New York Bar Association. But a cruel twist of fate and vengeance drastically and irrevocably altered her childhood, leading her to a life of scamming. Starting with her “Rod Stewart” con at the age of 16… she’s now got a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt and is awaiting federal trial for trying to scam nearly a million dollars from Uncle Sam. Find Queen of the Con wherever you get your podcasts.
