Eli Broad, the billionaire philanthropist who is one of this city’s biggest arts patrons, has offered $30 million to help rescue the financially beleaguered Museum of Contemporary Art if the museum’s trustees and other patrons also step up their donations. NYT

i like the way santa monica museum of art operates;
no collections, no acquisitions just fresh art!
something should be studied. here is an installation by michael asher in smmoa that directly deals with it.
museums must change. there is something wrong about; 'donate get a tax break' equation often at the cost of free art.
The open letter to MOCA in the LA Times is quite harsh but may have been what led Broad to donate.
