The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse

The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse is a nonprofit institution located in a 50,000 square foot retro-fitted warehouse in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami. The Warehouse presents seasonal exhibitions from the collection of renowned collector Martin Z. Margulies as well as educational programs, special exhibitions and an international loan program. The Warehouse is operated and funded by the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation, a thirty-year resource for the study and enjoyment of the visual arts.

In 1998, Martin Z. Margulies along with his longtime curator Katherine Hinds began looking for a suitable space to display the growing collection of photography, video and installation works, and sculptures of the Margulies Contemporary Art Collection. In 1999, the first phase of the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse opened to the public with an event to benefit the Lowe Museum at the University of Miami. After a series of expansions, the Warehouse now comprises 50,000 square feet of exhibition space with set hours each week. The Warehouse is open to the public October–April, during which time the museum welcomes thousands of students and visitors from all over the world.

The Warehouse has presented some of the most significant artists of the 20th and 21st centuries including Joan Miró, Isamu Noguchi, Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, George Segal, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, John Chamberlain, Tom Wesselman, James Rosenquist, Frank Stella, Sol LeWitt, Richard Serra, Donald Judd, Tony Smith, Jannis Kounellis, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Mark di Suvero, Michael Heizer, Richard Long, Nancy Rubins, Song Dong, Anselm Kiefer, Amar Kanwar, Do Ho Suh, Olafur Eliasson, Ernesto Neto, Susan Philipsz, and Franz West. Photography exhibitions have included the Vkhutemas and Bauhaus schools, Albert Renger-Patzsch, August Sander, Walker Evans, Helen Levitt, William Eggleston, Cindy Sherman, Stephen Shore, Thomas Struth, and Thomas Ruff, Doug Aitken, and Jeff Wall.
