Scope and Contents
The Jeremy Stone Gallery records measure 10.4 linear feet and date from 1970 to 2005, with the bulk of the records dating from 1979 to 1996. The records shed light on the gallery's operations through administrative records, artist files, and printed material. Also present in the collection are scant personal and professional papers documenting Jeremy Stone's career before opening the gallery in 1982 and after closing it in 1991.
Administrative files mainly consist of correspondence between the Jeremy Stone Gallery and other museums and galleries regarding exhibitions, artists, and artwork; between the gallery and artists; and between the gallery and art-collecting individuals and corporations. Also present in this series are some exhibition files and financial records. Artist files include correspondence, newspaper clippings, exhibition records, resumes, price lists, artwork images, mailing lists, collector lists, and inventories. Printed material includes exhibition reviews, announcements, and press releases. Some negatives and photographs of artwork, as well as snapshots from events, are also present.
Jeremy Stone's personal and professional papers document her practice as a private art dealer and expert in appraisals and acquisitions. Most of the artists she handled were initially represented by the Jeremy Stone Gallery, including Sylvia Lark, Barbara Pierce, Kyung Sun Cho, Richard Sheehan, and Pia Stern. Files include correspondence, sales records, price lists, images of artwork, and some printed material. Also found in this series is material related to Stone's guest curatorship at the Sunne Savage Gallery for its exhibition, 30 Years of Box Constructions (1979); and articles written by and about Jeremy Stone.
