Broad have amassed one of the finest private collections of contemporary art in the world.

The exhibition features paintings such as Jasper Johns' Watchman (1964), Flag (1967), and Untitled (1975), his first crosshatch painting; Andy Warhol's iconic depictions of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and himself; and Roy Lichtenstein's I…I'm Sorry (1965-66), as well as his five-part Rouen Cathedral (Seen at Five Different Times of the Day, Set III (1969). An important aspect of the collections is the concentration on major figures from the 1980s, such as Cy Twombly, John Baldessari and Sharon Lockhart. In addition, the exhibition showcases the work of artists such as Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cindy Sherman, Stephan Balkenhol, photographs by Bernd and Hilla Becher and mixed media canvases by Anselm Kiefer.
