More Broad

The Broad was open another hour after we finished "Keith Haring:  Art Is For Everybody" so we had plenty of time to tour the permanent collection.  The kids do love Jeff Koons!

But for my money, even the most mundane Warhols are more interesting.  It was my first time seeing these early works.

"Male Seated at Automat Counter" by Andy Warhol (1958)
"Dishwasher" by Andy Warhol (1960)
Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein painted this work the year he died.  Something's off.

"Interior with Painting of Bather" by Roy Lichtenstein  (1997)
I'm not sure an old white guy best suited to decode this very large multimedia work about African- American beauty and hair products, but I loved the concept and how it was executed.

"eXelento" by Helen Gallagher (2004)





"Burning African Village Play Set with Big House and Lynching"
by Kara Walker (2006)

In 2018, somebody paid $12.4 million painting by Jenny Saville which means no one has paid more for a work by a female artist at auction.

"Stare" by Jenny Saville (2004-05)
"Some Things from Sleep: For Jane and Charley"
by David Wojnarowicz (1986)
"Jay With Bike" by John Ahearn and Rigoberto Torres (1985)
"Obnoxious Liberals" by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982)
If you walk down from the top floor, windows in the stairwell enable you to see the museum stores its unexhibited art.
