Eli Broad Wants “Democratic” Art Philanthropy - ARTINFO.com: "LOS ANGELES— Philanthropist Eli Broad sparked controversy in January 2008 when he announced that he would be donating most of his 1,900 piece art collection not to the Los Angeles County Art Museum (LACMA), where he is a trustee, but to his Broad Art Foundation, which loans contemporary art to museums around the world. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, he describes that decision as part of an effort to help smaller museums and maximize the educational reach of his collection."
