Budiardjo 'Budi' Tek (27 October 1957 – 18 March 2022[1]) was a Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur, philanthropist and art collector, and the founder of the Yuz Foundation.
He became a successful entrepreneur and was president/director of Indonesia-based PT Sierad Produce Tbk, with interests in poultry production through to restaurant management.
[9] He is known for having collected large and difficult to display 'mega art' works, including a tigerskin made of 600,000 cigarettes, a high pressure fire hose which whips around in a purpose-built room,[10] and Random International's Rain Room, a computer-controlled indoor rain shower which remains dry around visitors walking through the deluge.
Since its opening, it has staged exhibitions by Yang Fudong, Huang Yuxing, Liu Shiyuan, Random International, Andy Warhol, and Alberto Giacometti.
Designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and built on the old site of the aircraft hangar of the former Long Hua Airport, the museum boasts a total area of 9,000 square meters, among which the hangar-converted great hall alone covers over 3,000 square meters, complementing the numerous large-scale art installations, while the other galleries offer more than 1,000 square meters for paintings, sculptures and photography of contemporary art.
