The most tantalizing feature of the Broad: that little window in the central staircase that provides a peek into archive and everything that’s not on display. So whenever we hear the DTLA museum is pulling dozens of pieces out of its archive and putting them into its galleries, it’s always a prompt to pay attention.

To mark a decade since the museum’s announcement, the Broad is pulling 57 key pieces acquired during that time period out of its vault. Half of the works will be on view for the first time, and the vast majority were added after the museum first opened in 2015.

The free first-floor exhibition, dubbed “Since Unveiling: Selected Acquisitions of a Decade,” includes newly-added pieces by Catherine Opie and Shirin Neshat, as well as works by Kara Walker, Cindy Sherman, John Baldessari, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Glenn Ligon, Mark Bradford, Andreas Gursky, Julie Mehretu, Robert Longo and more.

But the most exciting inclusion has to be the return of Ragnar Kjartansson’s The Visitors, a mesmerizing, nine-screen video installation of musicians performing simultaneously in separate rooms of a farmhouse. It was a clear standout when the museum opened in 2015, and it last went back on display in 2018—and in the middle of last year’s stay-at-home existence, we found ourselves pining for its beautiful depiction of isolation and togetherness.
