When Malevich died of [[cancer]] at the age of fifty-seven, in Leningrad on 15 May 1935, his friends and disciples buried his ashes in a grave marked with a black square. They didn't fulfill his stated wish to have the grave topped with an "architekton"—one of his skyscraper-like [[maquette]]s of abstract forms, equipped with a [[telescope]] through which visitors were to gaze at [[Jupiter]].<ref name="THE PROPHET">{{cite magazine|last1=Schjehldahl|first1=Peter|title=The Prophet: Malevich's Revolution|url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/06/02/the-prophet-2|magazine=The New Yorker|access-date=15 May 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304195201/http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/06/02/the-prophet-2|url-status=live}}</ref>

On his deathbed, Malevich had been exhibited with the [[Black Square (painting)|''Black Square'']] above him, and mourners at his funeral rally were permitted to wave a banner bearing a black square.<ref name="JAMA"/> Malevich had asked to be buried under an oak tree on the outskirts of [[Nemchinovka]], a place to which he felt a special bond.<ref name="artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com">Sophia Kishkovsky (30 August 2013), [http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/30/malevichs-burial-site-is-found-underneath-housing-development/ Malevich’s Burial Site Is Found, Underneath Housing Development] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140104132036/http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/30/malevichs-burial-site-is-found-underneath-housing-development/ |date=4 January 2014 }} ''[[The New York Times]]''.</ref> His ashes were sent to Nemchinovka, and buried in a field near his [[dacha]]. Nikolai Suetin, a friend of Malevich's and a fellow artist, designed a white cube with a black square to mark the burial site. The memorial was destroyed during [[World War II]]. The city of Leningrad bestowed a pension on Malevich's mother and daughter.

In Nazi Germany his works were banned as "[[Degenerate art|Degenerate Art]]".<ref name="lootedart.com" /><ref>{{Cite news|last=Vogel|first=Carol|date=1999-06-19|title=The Modern Gets to Keep Malevich Works|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/19/arts/the-modern-gets-to-keep-malevich-works.html|access-date=2022-02-23|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=23 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220223063249/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/19/arts/the-modern-gets-to-keep-malevich-works.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR)-Case Summary-Malevich v.
