At the 2018 Dia:Beacon Spring Benefit, guests were among the first to view two new installations by Mary Corse and Dorothea Rockburne. These installations bring even greater depth to Dia’s remarkable collection and reiterate its commitment to the championing of greater understanding of Minimalism and Postminimalism in the 1960s and 1970s.
