* The Dia Art Foundation manages some of the most iconic early land art works in America, including Walter De Maria's The Lightning Field (1977), Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970) and Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels (1973-76). In addition to these "sites," they have set up a number of exhibition venues that showcase the work of the early artists and question and actualize the movement's ideas.
