60 Minutes profiled Eli Broad this weekend. The segment offered Morley Safer—no fan of Contemporary art—the opportunity to wince and shrug while Jeff Koons explained his work in front of Eli Broad and the correspondent:
Though Broad is gracious and deferential in front of both Safer and Koons, he does decline to defend one of his own works—a Tom Friedman sculpture—which may simply be the smart move in not wasting time arguing Contemporary art or a sign that Broad allows his curators to acquire works they deem important but that he may not see the value in.
