Dodger bidder Steven Cohen joins MOCA board

The hedge fund billionaire's L.A. state of mind. From press release:

Mr. Cohen is one of the world's leading collectors of modern and contemporary art. His collection, which ranges from impressionism to the 21st century, includes many works regularly on view in museum exhibitions in the United States and throughout the world.

The NY-based Cohen is among the many rich guys apparently going after the Dodgers. He's gone so far as to hire a sports architectural to look at possible Dodger Stadium renovations. Cohen has his main digs in Greenwich, Conn. (a 32,000 square foot mansion that has a hockey rink, basketball court, swimming pool, and two-hole golf course). Nothing in L.A., from what I can glean.
