LOS ANGELES — Drawing from the Broad’s extensive holdings of the artist’s work, "Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature" presents over 400 artworks that illuminate Beuys' practice as a model for direct environmental action.

The project is a collaboration between North East Trees and Tongva (Gabrielino) archaeologist Desireé Reneé Martinez as well as artist Lazaro Arvizu Jr. It includes the planting of 100 coast live oaks in the Elysian Park area and Kuruvungna Village Springs in West Los Angeles.
