The Un-Private Collection is a series of public programs The Broad started in September 2013 to introduce audiences to the museum’s 2,000-work contemporary art collection by showcasing stories behind the collections, the collectors and the artists in the months leading up to the 2015 opening of The Broad museum. Since launching the program, The Broad has brought together a variety of artists whose works are in the Broad collections in conversation with cultural leaders including Mark Bradford with Katy Siegel, Shirin Neshat with Christy MacLear, Jeff Koons with John Waters, Takashi Murakami with Pico Iyer, Eric Fischl with Steve Martin, John Currin with James Cuno, and Kara Walker with Ava DuVernay. Talks have been held at venues throughout Los Angeles, making the programming available to audiences across the city.
