Dia:Beacon, located in a former Nabisco box-printing factory in Beacon, NY, houses the Dia Art Foundation’s collection of art from the 1960s to the present as well as special exhibitions, new commissions, public and education programs.
In keeping with Dia’s history of single-artist, site-related presentations, each gallery was designed specifically for the art it contains. This includes Andy Warhol’s 1978–79 multipart work Shadows, displayed in a single installation measuring approximately 350 linear feet; selections from Dan Flavin’s series of fluorescent light Monuments to V. Tatlin (1964–81); Richard Serra’s monumental steel sculptures, Torqued Ellipses; and Michael Heizer’s North, East, South, West (1967/2002).
