HEINER FRIEDRICH GALLERIES

Heiner Friedrich established his first gallery in Munich, 1963 and soon after another in Köln, Germany. In 1971 he moved to a space in SOHO, New York City at 141 Wooster Street. Heiner Friedrich and Philippa de Menil, together with Helen Winkler, established the Dia Art Foundation in 1974.


Friedrich had exhibited works by Walter De Maria, Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, Michael Heizer, and Joseph Beuys among others in his galleries in Germany, but became less interested in short term gallery installations and through Dia began to collect, and support major projects, such as Walter De Maria's "Lightning Field" in New Mexico and purchasing a former military base in Marfa, Texas to enable Donald Judd to create a permanent space for the installation of his work.
