Martin Margulies

[1][2] After tensions with island management,[3] much of the collection was moved to Florida International University’s main campus in West Miami-Dade.

[4][3] In 1998, Margulies along with his longtime curator Katherine Hinds began looking for a suitable space to display the growing collection.

In 1999 they set up a warehouse space in then-derelict Wynwood to show his holdings of contemporary and vintage photography, video, sculpture and installation work.

[7][8] The Margulies Collection includes sculptures by the likes of Willem de Kooning, Anselm Kiefer, Olafur Eliasson, Antony Gormley, Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt.

[10] Previously, the 1980 development of Grove Isle in Miami was only possible with Margulies' involvement who crafted a landmark settlement which significantly scaled back the project after a decade of litigation and local protest.
