Allan Stone - noted art dealer and collector Allan Stone was a vital and respected New York art collector and dealer who ignored art world fashion and embraced artists whose work stirred him personally. He became active in the art world in the late 1950s while working as a lawyer on Wall Street. He dispensed free legal advice to artists. By 1960, Mr. Stone wanted to open a gallery, but was only able to do so after about 30 of his co-workers at his law firm raised $5,000 for him to begin his gallery. During the gallery?s first year the law firm?s head stenographer did its typing, while her husband, a flower trucker, transported its art. He was legendary in the New York art world for his obsessive collecting. His gallery and his home teemed with primitive and folk art. At one point he owned a multitude of de Koonings and nearly 30 Bugatti automobiles. He gave first or early New York shows to the sculptors César and Robert Mallory and to the painters Richard Estes and Wayne Thiebaud. He owned numerous works by John Chamberlain. He made impressive exhibitions, often accompanied by catalogs for which he wrote essays filled with personal reminiscences and unusual insights. Allan Stone loved "seeing the mark, the hand of the artist". He also prized "the spirit of independence". Estimate in DKK : 150000 / 200000
