A trenchant supporter of large-scale works of art since the 1970s, the non-profit Dia Center for the Arts opened this spacious facility in 1987 in a four-story renovated warehouse. The galleries are currently closed for renovation until 2006, but exhibitions continue to be held at the branch gallery in Beacon, NY.
