Founded in 1979, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) is home to one of the finest permanent collections of American and European art produced since 1940, with more than 5,000 works in all visual media—from masterpieces of abstract expressionism and pop art to recent works by young and emerging artists. As Los Angeles’s only institution devoted exclusively to contemporary art, MOCA has developed an international reputation for its exhibitions of paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs, video, installations, and environmental works. Major one person exhibitions of established artists; solo exhibitions of emerging artists; and large-scale, complex thematic presentations are the cornerstone of MOCA’s superlative exhibition programming. Today the museum is housed in three unique facilities: MOCA Grand Avenue, The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, and MOCA Pacific Design Center.
