THE LOS ANGELES MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Established in 1979, they are the only artist-founded museum in Los Angeles. They are dedicated to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art. They house one of the most compelling collections of contemporary art in the world, comprising roughly 7000 objects, and have a diverse history of ground-breaking, historically-significant exhibitions. They are committed to the collection, presentation, and interpretation of art created after 1940, in all media, and to preserving that work for future g... enerations. They provide leadership in the field by identifying and presenting the most significant and challenging art of their time, actively supporting the creation of new work, and producing original scholarship. With three distinct venues in Los Angeles—MOCA Grand Avenue, The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, and MOCA Pacific Design Center—and Michael Heizer’s seminal artwork Double Negative (1969-70) in the Nevada desert, they engage audiences through an ambitious program of exhibitions, educational programs, and publishing.More
