“The contemporary museum’s [MOCA] exhibitions and collections are surely among the top reasons that Los Angeles is home to several generations of important artists. Any Los Angeles museum that is currently thriving…is to some extent standing on the contemporary museum’s shoulders.”

– The New York Times
