Eli Broad profiled in The New Yorker

Connie Bruck does the honors in today's issue and introduces Broad as "the Lorenzo de’ Medici of Los Angeles—the city’s singular patron, especially of the arts.” Broad has given about $140 million to local arts institutions over thirty years, she writes, “but in return he has expected a degree of fealty that many in the art world find unseemly.” The Art of the Billionaire is subtitled "How Eli Broad took over Los Angeles." I'm looking ahead to spending some time with this one.
