Celebrated for his eclectic approach and early advocacy of pivotal artists of the 20th Century, Allan Stone was a leading authority on Abstract Expressionism, the New York dealer for Wayne Thiebaud for over forty years, and a passionate collector of Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Joseph Cornell, John Graham and John Chamberlain. He also promoted and collected the work of a younger generation of artists, including Robert Arneson, Jack Whitten, Robert Mallary, Lorraine Shemesh, Sue Miller, James Havard, and Robert Baribeau, among many others. In addition to modern masterworks and contemporary art, the Allan Stone Collection included tribal and folk art, Americana and important decorative arts and industrial design. As of October 2020, Allan Stone Projects concluded its activity. The Allan Stone Gallery archives are located with the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
