Donna and Howard Stone have collected works of art in all media for more than 30 years, building one of the most distinguished private collections of contemporary art in the country. Much of what they have acquired relates to advanced Minimal and conceptual strains in the art of the 1960s and 1970s, and the various kinds of artistic practices that these movements inspired in contemporary art. Some of the featured artists include Dan Flavin, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Gerhard Richter, Robert Ryman, and Franz West.
Highlights from the Stones' extensive collection—including many gifts to the museum's permanent collection—will be the focus of an exhibition at the Art Institute in 2010. This publication serves as the first detailed look at the works that will be exhibited, as well as a chronicle of the entire collection. It includes an introduction to the collection by James Rondeau, Frances and Thomas Ditter Curator ad Chair of the Department of Contemporary Art and curator of the exhibition; and an in-depth interview with the Stones.
