ROBERT LEHMAN LECTURES ON CONTEMPORARY ART
Since 1992, the Robert Lehman Foundation, Inc., has provided generous
support for the Robert Lehman Lectures on Contemporary Art. Lecturers
from a variety of disciplines analyze artworks shown at Dia within the
context of the artist's oeuvre and in relation to contemporary cultural
issues.
DIA
Dia Art Foundation was founded in 1974. The nonprofit Dia plays a vital
role among visual arts institutions nationally and internationally by
initiating, supporting, presenting, and preserving art projects, and by
serving as a primary locus for interdisciplinary art and criticism. In
addition to presenting exhibitions and public programming at Dia Center
for the Arts in Chelsea, Dia maintains long-term, site-specific projects
in the western United States, in New York City, and on Long Island. In
May 2003, Dia will open Dia:Beacon, a new museum in Beacon, New York, to
house its renowned collection of American and European art of the 1960s
and 1970s.
