The Museum of Contemporary Art established its Permanent Collection in 1994. MOCA's Permanent Collection now numbers more than 400 works. The museum has acquired works through donations or purchased with funds donated specifically for acquiring art, including the Janet and Robert Liebowitz acquisition endowment and the Gucci Young Artist Acquisition Fund. The permanent collection reflects significant artistic developments in contemporary art by emerging and established artists from the U.S. and abroad.
John Baldessari, Dan Flavin, Dennis Oppenheim, Alex Katz, Louise Nevelson, Gabriel Orozco, Julian Schnabel, Zoe Leonard, Uta Barth, Teresita Fernandez, Jorge Pardo, Garry Simmons, Mathew Ritchie, Raymond Pettibon, Yoko Ono, Christian Marclay, Nam June Paik, Inka Essenhigh, Trenton Doyle Hancock, and Jose Bedia are among the artists whose works are included in the collection. |
