The\u00a0Los Angeles County Museum of Art<\/a>\u00a0has proposed acquiring the troubled Museum of Contemporary Art \u2014 a move that would combine the biggest art collection west of the Mississippi with one of the world’s most prestigious troves of contemporary art.<\/p>\n

The acquisition could put to rest long-standing concerns over the financial viability of the Museum of Contemporary Art, or MOCA. But it also faces potential opposition from the region’s most influential art patron, billionaire\u00a0Eli Broad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In funding a 2008 MOCA bailout valued at up to $30 million, Broad won a stipulation that MOCA could not be acquired for 10 years by “any museum located within 100 miles of MOCA’s Grand Avenue facility,” excluding “educational institutions or museums affiliated with educational institutions.” Broad declined immediate comment Thursday.<\/p>\n

The acquisition offer was made in a letter from the leaders of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or LACMA, to the co-chairs of the MOCA board.<\/p>\n
