THE BROAD

The Broad
The Broad, Los Angeles’s new contemporary art museum founded by Eli and Edythe Broad, opened its doors to the public on September 20th, 2015. The building (designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler) features over 250 masterworks of contemporary art and houses almost the entire collection.
I lined up one early morning to take a first look at the collection and featured below are some photographs of pieces that were particularly inspiring to me.
