The Broad presents Robert Therrien: This is a Story, the most extensive museum exhibition of the late artist’s work to date. Known for his uncanny shifts in scale and his transformation of familiar objects — giant tables and chairs, outsized dishes, alongside intimate drawings of snowmen, birds, and chapels — Therrien developed a visual language that feels at once playful, enigmatic, and deeply rooted in memory.
Featuring more than 120 works across five decades, the exhibition offers an unprecedented look at his evolving practice, located just miles from the downtown Los Angeles home and studio he occupied for nearly thirty years. Many pieces, including works made shortly before his passing in 2019, have never been shown in a museum, opening new perspectives on his lifelong exploration of perception, narrative, and the quiet strangeness of everyday forms.
