    Identifier Return Reference Explanation
    SUMMARY OF DIRECT CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES FORM 990-PF, PART IX-A THE BROAD ART FOUNDATION IS A PRIVATE OPERATING FOUNDATION CREATED IN 1984 (ON JULY 1, 1999, BASED ON AN IRS RULING RECEIVED 4/30/98, ALL THE ASSETS OF THE ELI BROAD FAMILY FOUNDATION WERE TRANSFERRED TO A NEWLY FORMED TRUST, THE BROAD ART FOUNDATION). THE PURPOSE OF THE FOUNDATION IS TO BUILD A COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY ART FOR LOAN TO MUSEUMS AND UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE ART GALLERIES. NOW IN ITS THIRTY-SECOND YEAR OF ACTIVITY, THE FOUNDATION IS AN EDUCATIONAL AND LENDING RESOURCE PROMOTING KNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATION OF THE BEST OF CONTEMPORARY ART AND FACILITATING THE EXHIBITION PROGRAMMING OF EXISTING ART INSTITUTIONS.THE COLLECTIONTHROUGH THE SELECTIVE ACQUISITION OF KEY WORKS OF CONTEMPORARY ART, THE FOUNDATION CONTINUES ITS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO THE GROWTH OF ITS COLLECTION. TARGETING LATE 20TH AND EARLY 21ST CENTURY ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENTS, THE FOUNDATION STRIVES TO COLLECT WORKS OF UNPARALLELED IMPORTANCE IN THE RECENT HISTORY OF AMERICAN ART. DURING 2015, THE FOUNDATION BROADENED ITS HOLDINGS OF SEVERAL KEY ARTISTS, INCLUDING ROBERT LONGO, NEO RAUCH, GEORGE CONDO, ANDREAS GURSKY, MARK GROTJAHN, TAKASHI MURAKAMI, LUC TUYMANS, JOHN CURRIN, DOUG AITKEN, STERLING RUBY, JOHN BALDESSARI, CY TWOMBLY, CHRISTOPHER WOOL, JEFF KOONS, AND JULIE MEHRETU. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION INTRODUCED TAUBA AUERBACH, ALEX ISRAEL, ELLA KRUGLYANSKAYA, JORDAN WOLFSON, AND JONAS WOOD TO THE COLLECTION. THE NUMBER OF WORKS IN THE COLLECTION NOW TOTALS 1,513. PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITYTHE FOUNDATION MOVED FROM ITS ORIGINAL OFFICE AND EXHIBITION SPACE, WHICH IT HAD OCCUPIED SINCE 1988, INTO ITS NEW HEADQUARTERS AT THE BROAD MUSEUM IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES ON MAY 15, 2015. IN ITS ORIGINAL SPACE, THE FOUNDATION HAD LIMITED ABILITY TO MAKE ITS ARTWORKS AVAILABLE FOR VIEW EITHER TO THE PUBLIC OR TO ART PROFESSIONALS. THE SPACE WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL THE WORKS IN THE COLLECTION, SO MOST WERE STORED IN CRATES OFF SITE. THIS MEANT THAT MUSEUM PERSONNEL WISHING TO BORROW OR SCHOLARS WISHING TO STUDY WORKS OF ART EITHER HAD TO WORK FROM PHOTOGRAPHS OR THAT FOUNDATION STAFF HAD TO GO TO A STORAGE FACILITY, UNCRATE THE ARTWORK AND BRING THE ART PROFESSIONAL TO SEE IT, SOMETHING THAT WAS INEFFICIENT AND NOT OPTIMAL FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE ART. FURTHER, THE ORIGINAL BUILDING WAS A PRIVATE FACILITY OPEN ONLY BY APPOINTMENT. WITH ITS MOVE TO THE BROAD, THE FOUNDATION IMMEDIATELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THE COLLECTION AND THEREBY ENHANCED THE FOUNDATION'S LENDING PROGRAM. THE GALLERIES OF THE BROAD MUSEUM DISPLAY A LARGE NUMBER OF LOANS FROM THE BROAD ART FOUNDATION, ALLOWING BOTH THE PUBLIC AND ART PROFESSIONALS TO SEE THE WORKS FIRST HAND, IN SITU. IN ADDITION, THE BROAD WAS DELIBERATELY DESIGNED WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART, ON-SITE STORAGE FACILITIES THAT ALLOW CONSOLIDATION OF THE COLLECTION UNDER ONE ROOF AND PERMIT ART PROFESSIONALS EASILY AND EFFICIENTLY TO VIEW THE ORIGINAL WORKS. THE GREATLY ENHANCED ACCESSIBILITY SERVES TO ENCOURAGE THE STUDY AND LENDING OF WORKS FROM THE BROAD ART FOUNDATION COLLECTION TO OTHER PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. LOAN ACTIVITYTHE CENTERPIECE OF THE FOUNDATION'S ACTIVITIES IS ITS LENDING PROGRAM. IN 2015, IN ADDITION TO THE BROAD, 15 PUBLIC VENUES AVAILED THEMSELVES OF 22 FOUNDATION LOANS. AMONG THE MAJOR MUSEUMS AND ARTS INSTITUTIONS BORROWING FROM THE FOUNDATION WERE: ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO, TORONTO, CANADA; CENTRE GEORGES POMPIDOU, MUS E NATIONAL D'ART MODERNE, PARIS, FRANCE; FLORENCE GRISWOLD MUSEUM, OLD LYME, CONNECTICUT; FRIST CENTER FOR THE VISUAL ARTS, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE; GAGOSIAN GALLERY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK; GALLERIA CIVICA D'ARTE MODERNA E CONTEMPORANEA, TORINO, ITALY; GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM, BILBAO, BILBAO, SPAIN; KUNSTHAUS Z RICH, Z RICH, SWITZERLAND; MODERN ART MUSEUM OF FORT WORTH, FORT WORTH, TEXAS; MUSEO RUFINO TAMAYO, MEXICO CITY, MEXICO; NEVADA MUSEUM OF ART, RENO, NEVADA; PIVOT ART + CULTURE/VULCAN INC, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON; SERPENTINE GALLERY, LONDON, ENGLAND; THE BRANT FOUNDATION ART STUDY CENTER, GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT; AND THE HUNTINGTON LIBRARY, ART COLLECTIONS, AND BOTANICAL GARDENS, SAN MARINO, CALIFORNIA. WITHIN THE BROAD'S OWN GALLERIES, 197 WORKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE BROAD ART FOUNDATION WERE ON VIEW TO THE PUBLIC.
