On Sunday, February 15, The Broad (pronounced: brode) museum’s top-floor, column-free gallery space welcomed Los Angeles artists, civic figures, and art enthusiasts for a one-day preview. Still absent from the space were its partition walls, which will display the personal collections of contemporary art of philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad when the museum opens in September 2015. For the day-into-night preview, The Broad presented Sky-lit: Volume, Light, and Sound, featuring the works of artists BJ Nilsen and Yann Novak. The artistic vision of the museum’s architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, also struck a chord with visitors.
