The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, founded in 1979 by artists, focuses on collecting and presenting contemporary art. It maintains a collection of about 7,500 works and has hosted a history of influential, historically significant exhibitions. The institution concentrates on art created after 1940 across all media and seeks to preserve it for future generations, operating across two Los Angeles venues: MOCA Grand Avenue and The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. 

MOCA aims to lead the field by identifying and presenting significant, challenging art, supporting new work, and producing original scholarship, while engaging audiences through exhibitions, education, and publishing. A notable facet of its program is Michael Heizer’s Double Negative (1969-70) in the Nevada desert, illustrating the museum's reach beyond its two sites.
