Dia: Beacon

Profil

Since its founding in 1974, Dia has been dedicated to supporting individual artists and to providing long-term, in-depth presentations of their art. Dia:Beacon's expansive galleries have been specifically designed for the display of the artworks to which Dia is committed, many of which, because of their character or scale, could not be easily accommodated by more conventional museums. Each artist's work is displayed in a dedicated gallery or galleries, many of which were created in collaboration with the artists whose works they will hold.

The Collection
Assembled largely during the 1970s and early 1980s by Dia's founders, Philippa de Menil and Heiner Friedrich, the original collection included works by some of the most important artists of the 1960s and 1970s including Joseph Beuys , John Chamberlain , Walter De Maria , Dan Flavin , Donald Judd , Imi Knoebel , Blinky Palermo , Fred Sandback , Cy Twombly , Andy Warhol , and Robert Whitman .

Anticipating the creation of Dia:Beacon, the collection was significantly augmented beginning in the late 1990s with works by artists of the same generation as those Dia historically supported. These include Bernd and Hilla Becher, Louise Bourgeois , Michael Heizer , Robert Irwin , On Kawara , Sol LeWitt , Agnes Martin, Bruce Nauman , Robert Ryman , Gerhard Richter , Richard Serra , Robert Smithson , and Lawrence Weiner .
