Marian Goodman Gallery is honored to announce the global representation of the Estate of Ana Mendieta in collaboration with Alison Jacques in London and Prats Nogueras Blanchard in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid). The gallery will present its first solo exhibition of Mendieta’s work in November 2025 at our headquarters in New York.

Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) was a prolific multidisciplinary artist who primarily used elements from nature such as earth, water, fire and flora. Mendieta’s oeuvre includes painting, drawing, photography, film/video, sculpture and site-specific works. Her singular interventions embraced the extremities of nature and disrupted societal conventions.

In her sculptures, Mendieta employed her own body as a canvas to initially connect with the earth, and ultimately as a means of expression to convey notions of existence, resurgence and renewal. These site-inclusive works, exquisitely ethereal and transitory, were contemplative, existential meditations on mortality and the natural world. A pioneer and innovator in her process and her prodigious output, Mendieta remains a significant source of inspiration for successive generations of artists.

In July 2026, the Tate Modern will present a significant retrospective dedicated to Mendieta that will feature many of her important works, along with newly remastered films, early paintings, and late sculptural pieces, many of which will make their U.K. debut.
