The first public exhibition of the Stones’ collection, it features 59 works by artists ranging from Gerhard Richter and Sol LeWitt to Rosemarie Trockel and Lawrence Weiner. Fifty of the works on display are designated as promised gifts to the museum, joining 42 works the Stones have previously given or promised to the Art Institute. Together these works represent one of the largest gifts ever made to the Department of Contemporary Art at the Art Institute.
