Fire at Dia:Beacon Damages Million Dollar Mary Corse Painting


Art Standard Time | Mary Corse

A fire at Dia:Beacon broke out on Saturday caused by an overheated electrical component of an artwork ignited on the first floor of the museum.  No injuries were reported as the fire was put out within 30 minutes. A work by Mary Corse that contained the source of the fire was damaged. 

Since the mid-1960s, Corse has experimented with different ways to physically imbue her paintings with light. Her techniques have included the use of materials that project, reflect, and refract, such as electric light, glazed ceramic tiles, and retroreflective glass beads. These materials, which respond to their environmental conditions, are applied in simple configurations, using the logic of the grid as an organizing principle. Corse is known for her work within the Light and Space Movement. Centered largely in California, the movement emerged in the 1960s as an offshoot of conceptual art, one that attempted to understand artwork as a function of sensory perception.

Hannah Gompertz, director of communications and marketing for the Dia Art Foundation, said:

"A small, contained fire broke out in one of our galleries at Dia:Beacon at the end of the day on Saturday, October 20. The fire appears to have been caused by an electrical element attached to a work of art by Mary Corse that overheated. The building was immediately evacuated, and no one was injured. The Corse galleries will be reopened tomorrow with the work in question deinstalled. All other Corse works in these galleries will remain on view."

    My husband and I lost $920,000 worth of Bitcoins and USDT to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. A few months back, we saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency to make huge profits from our investments. We contacted a broker online who was pretending to be an account manager for a Forex trading firm, we invested a huge part of our retirement savings and business money into this platform not realizing it was all a scam to steal away our money. After weeks of trying to withdraw, this broker continued to request more money until we were broke and in debt, it felt as if we are losing our life. Fortunately for us, we saw an article online of people testifying how they were being scammed and lost their savings but with the help of Mr Jamesmckaywizard they were able to get back all the money they lost, so therefore we were not in a hurry to contact them but took our time to do some research about their services and found out they were indeed the person we could trust that’ll help us recover our money from these scammers, we contacted them and gave them every details at which they had required for the full recovery in a space of 72 hours, he was able to recover everything, this company did a thorough investigation with the information we provided them and ensured that every penny was returned to us, it felt so unreal how they were able to recover everything we have lost. We are truly grateful for the help of Mr. Jamesmckaywizard and we are putting this out there to everyone who needs their services. WHATS APP: +91 98632 93475 OR EMAIL: jamesmckaywizard@gmail.com

    I was able to recover and regain my lost funds of about
     $180k, I never believed I would have been able to rectify and win back my trading capital which was unloaded by a broker, who denied me access to my trading account for 3 months.
    I am so blithe that I could get back my funds with no stress. I would love to appreciate my friend who became known as a certified binary options recovery expert. Do you have funds that you are planning to withdraw from your account, your broker manager is requesting that you make more deposits in order to make a withdrawal. If you don’t know how to proceed, kindly contact this web hacker at (Morganhackspecialist@outlook.com) WhatsApp +1 (617) 545-7368. they will show you the guild lines to regain your lost funds in just a few days.

    Do you know of Francisco Hacker? Does anyone have personal experience with them? Because of how fortunate we were to have their assistance, my family and I are sharing this. Over 650,000 USD were deposited in a BTC investment plan online, however even after making such a significant investment, I was unable to contact the company. As I had been misled about the amount of returns I would receive, I had invested money that was intended to fund a vacation for my family and myself, but in the end, I had been cheated. I needed to know how to get my money back, so I searched online and ended up at Francisco Hacker. We were able to recover my BTC-invested savings thanks to their methods and advice. We received everything back because to their dedication, perseverance, and professionalism at the highest level. My sincere appreciation and thanks go out to Francisco Hacker for the successful recovery of my cash. Contact them Via Email: Franciscohack()qualityservice.com (Franciscohackqualityservice.com )
