Until 2004, 548 West 22nd street in New York was the home of the Dia Art Foundation, one of the main institutions in the city. Founded in 1974 to support the new needs of the artists of the time, it required large-scale and technically complex or long-lasting projects, which could not be conducted in traditional institutions –as is the case of the 7000 Oak Trees by Joseph Beuys, Broken Kilometer by Walter de María, or his Field of Lightning–, it closed its doors in the city in order to install its spectacular collection upstate –with artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Michael Heizer, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra and Robert Smithson. The reason for the closure: the space no longer fulfilled the needs of the institution(1).
