Eli Broad Gets Back to Planning His New Museum

Remember around this time last year when billionaire Eli Broad announced he wanted to build a much, much bigger museum to house his massive modern art collection? But then, almost immediately after he said this, everything went to hell and he had to start bailing out everyone else’s museums. There were some stirrings back in January about him on the hunt for a big shot starchitect to build his new art home, but since everything’s been so lousy this year, that was about all we’d heard out of him about it.
