The Broad presents Has the myth been shattered, a free exhibition drawn entirely from the museum’s collection, spanning six decades and a wide range of media. New acquisitions by Guadalupe Rosales and Hank Willis Thomas are among more than a dozen works on view at the museum for the first time, joining pieces by artists foundational to the collection, including Barbara Kruger, Glenn Ligon, and Andy Warhol. The exhibition takes its title from the Rosales work, in which the artist looks back at a charged moment in history and probes questions that remain unanswered today. Gathered together, the works create unexpected connections across generations, prompting an examination of how media has shaped history, memory, and collective experience. Has the myth been shattered is curated by The Broad’s Assistant Curator Jen Vanegas Rocha with support from Curatorial Assistant Nadia Estrada.
