Why Eli Broad Decided To Keep His Art

“It’s true that in the past, when asked, ‘What are you going to do?’ I said we will give the collection to one or several museums. The collection was significantly smaller then. Now it’s 2,000 works and we are continuing to collect, so we started to think about our options. One is to build our own museum as others have done. We chose not to do that. But we were concerned that if we gave our collection to one or several museums, 90% or so would be in storage all the time.”
