"Contemporary art challenges us...it broadens our horizons. It asks us to think beyond the limits of conventional wisdom." Eli Broad
"The Broad Foundation strives to build a collection of importance for the study of art of the last quarter of the twentieth century. The artists in the collection, most of who came to prominence in the 1980's or later, engage a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, photography and installation. Distinct among most public or private collections, the Foundation acquires deeply concentrated holdings of works by individual artists so that the full depth and breadth of their work is represented and updated as their endeavors progress. Among the artists represented in depth are Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Holzer, Eric Fischl, Charles Ray, Leon Golub, Anselm Kiefer, Robert Therrien, David Salle, Philip Taaffe, Ross Bleckner, Terry Winters, Sharon Lockhart and Andreas Gursky. The collection acquires, on average, 50 artworks per year, many of them large scale or multi-part installation works."
