不動産で財を成した実業家イーライ＆エディスのブロード夫妻のプライベート・コレクションを集めた個人美術館で、作品数はなんと2000強！ 60年代にニューヨークでアートに覚醒した夫妻のコレクションは現代アートに特化していて、アンディ・ウォーホルやジャスパー・ジョーンズをはじめ、ロイ・リキテンシュタイン、ジェフ・クーンズ、村上隆、草間彌生などなど。 This volume of superb writing and lavish illustrations pays tribute to one of the most significant collections of contemporary art in the world and now a major new museum, The Broad in Los Angeles. They operate the collection as a "lending library" through an enterprising loan program to institutions around the world. This book highlights The Broad collection’s depth by assembling a sharp cast of cultural leaders, writers, critics, and curators to share their insights, experiences, and diverse points of view on some of The Broad collection’s most celebrated artists. Readers will delight in essays by filmmaker John Waters on Jeff Koons; music critic Greil Marcus on Christopher Wool; novelist Siri Husvedt on Anselm Kiefer; travel writer and essayist Pico Iyer on Takashi Murakami
