Between January and April 2010, several galleries at Dia:Beacon were reinstalled marking the first major shift in Dia's presentation of its collection since the museum opened in 2003. In January, Robert Ryman collaborated with Dia curator Yasmil Raymond to re-site and reconfigure the rooms dedicated to his work. Now installed in four discrete exhibition spaces, the presentation includes paintings spanning forty years of Ryman's career. In February, an installation of Agnes Martin paintings from Dia's collection opened in a newly configured suite of galleries. Comprising twenty paintings, the presentation focuses on early works from 1957-60 and late works from 1999-2002. Next, the galleries dedicated to John Chamberlain's sculpture opened in March featuring pieces from Dia's collection, some of which have never been shown at Dia:Beacon. Most recently reinstalled was Imi Knoebel's 24 Colors--for Blinky, 1977 which consists of 21 shaped paintings, and Walter De Maria's Silver Meters,1976 and Gold Meters, 1976-77, which comprise sixteen square-meter plates made of polished stainless-steel, each containing a total of one troy ounce of silver or gold inserted into the plate's surface. These monumental series are on view in parallel galleries which are immediately visible upon entering Dia:Beacon.
