Dia to Mount First Robert Ryman Survey in 20 Years

The Dia Foundation will mount the first American survey of seminal minimalist Robert Ryman's work in more than 20 years. “Robert Ryman: Real Light, 1958-2007,” will run from December 9 to June 18, 2016 at Dia’s 545 West 22nd Street location.

On the momentous event, Dia director Jessica Morgan says, “There’s a very healthy conversation that’s going on right now in New York about painting, but Ryman often doesn’t seem to be a part of those conversations about experimental approaches to painting, where he’s played a big role. And it was very important for me to try to reinsert him into that discussion.”
