Other details: The 2013 Spring Benefit honored artist Robert Irwin for his master plan for Dia:Beacon’s conversion from a factory building. The Benefit began with a morning reception, followed by an anniversary toast and seated luncheon in the galleries. Guests were invited to explore the galleries throughout the day, with highlights including a presentation of works by Alighiero e Boetti from Dia’s collection and a reading of On Kawara’s multi-volume work, One Million Years, both presented for the first time at Dia:Beacon.
