The Broad, Los Angeles

Join **Ed Schad**, Curator and Publications Manager at The Broad, in conversation with Broad collection artist** **[**Sterling Ruby**](https://www.thebroad.org/art/sterling-ruby), one of the most versatile and acute observers of our time. Renowned for his sustained engagement with the complexities of contemporary life, Ruby’s practice excavates cultural and historical lineages through an exhaustive range of mediums. The Broad and Phaidon come together for a dual celebration—30 years of Phaidon’s Contemporary Artists Series and 10 years of The Broad. Join us for an exclusive conversation and a sneak peek of a newly commissioned limited-edition print by Ruby, entitled *DRFTRS (Daisy Ghost)*. The program will feature welcome remarks by **Simon Hunegs**, Editor at Phaidon. From 8–9 pm after the event, The Shop at The Broad will offer a limited number of signed Sterling Ruby’s monographs for purchase.
