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."

    Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

    REACH OUT TO CRYPTO PANDEMIC HUNTER AND DISCOVER YOUR PARTNER’S INFIDELITY

    It’s never easy to deal with suspicion and the fear of being betrayed by someone you love.
    When my ex my girlfriend started to behave strange and secretive I suspected that something wasn’t quite right. I felt she was avoiding me. The unanswered calls and claiming she needed time to figure issues out were signs that I couldn’t ignore. I really tried to keep the thought of her cheating on me away but not for long.

    I was in distress my friend suggested I try Crypto Pandemic Hunter to discover whether she was really unfaithful. I reached out to them and shared my story. They were understanding and handled the matter well. I gave them necessary details and right away the process kicked off.

    They explained the tools and methods they would use to monitor my ex-girlfriend’s phone activities without her knowledge. This included installing spyware that could track her calls, texts, emails, and social media interactions.

    As they worked on the case I was in awkward situation thinking maybe I was wrong while waiting for any shred of evidence. But alas, the evidence began to emerge. The call recordings, the hidden chat app – it all painted a picture that was difficult to ignore. She was having an affair with another person they met online. The details of the secret affair was so took me by storm.

    When the whole truth came out it was hard first and felt overwhelmed with the emotions of betrayal, anger, and sadness. But I could now face the situation with confidence and clarity, armed with the evidence needed to confront her about her infidelity. Ending a relationship is never easy, but having irrefutable proof made it a decision I could stand by.

    I am very grateful to Crypto Pandemic Hunter for revealing the bitter truth enabling to start afresh. I would highly recommend them to anyone battling deception and unfaithful partner.
