Li Born near Beijing in mainland China, the art collector and patron Yan Du now lives between Hong Kong and London. Yan started collecting around 13 years ago and since then has amassed a collection of over 300 works of art from the 1920s to the present day, with a concentration on the work of female artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Georgia O’Keefe, Lee Krasner, Cindy Sherman, Yayoi Kusama, Roni Horn, Shirin Neshat, Issy Wood and Lee Bul. Rather than any preconceived agenda, it was after giving birth to her first daughter that she found herself becoming more drawn to female artists, such as Bourgeois. I experienced their work on a different level, she says. It s not about feminism per se, it s about our identity, an emotive experience. ....

In 2018, when Dia first announced a fundraising campaign to upgrade its campuses, including a redesign of its three contiguous industrial buildings in Chelsea, it said the goal was to raise $90 million. That’s a big number, to be sure. But only $20 million an uncharacteristically small figure for such a prominent project was put toward the renovation in Chelsea.

Re-emerging as a force in Chelsea after a two-year, $20m renovation, the Dia Art Foundation’s space there will reopen on Friday (16 April) with a renewed purpose: to champion under-recognised artists and to serve as an information hub for all 11 of Dia’s long-term art sites.
