The relationship positively vibrates with the co-creation of value… This is the art world… The world of property development… Scarcity equals value…

The timeline is all about the quantities of works…

From a Broad Foundation press release:

Five Sherman works, currently on view through Oct. 2 in the museum’s first special exhibition, Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life, have been added to the collection, bringing the Broad collection’s holdings of the artist’s works to 129—the largest collection of Sherman’s work in the world. Four of the acquisitions are from Sherman’s most recent body of work, completed earlier this year and featuring the artist as aging film personas. The museum also acquired an important 1980 work, Untitled #71, from Sherman’s rear-screen projection series.

The Broad collection now has 11 works by Sherrie Levine, with the addition of her cast bronze Beach Ball after Lichtenstein, 2015, which questions ideas of originality and how value is accrued.

Media artist Ericka Beckman enters the collection with You The Better, a 16- millimeter film created in 1983. The 32-minute film explores games of chance and the powerlessness of players—and the viewer, drawn into the action—to affect the outcome. The acquisition also includes set pieces, shown with synchronized lighting, that together with the film comprise the installation.

The Broad also continues to build its collection of Los Angeles artist John Baldessari with a recent work, That’s Not Bad…, 2015, which brings the number of Baldessari works in the collection to 41.

Is this an art museum or a sports team? “Baldessari, a consistent scorer, is a favourite with the fans…”
