Deaccession of An Unrivaled Collection
Between 2014-2020, Dorothy was honored to serve as the President of Stone Art LLC, the exclusive representative of the Allan Stone Collection. The Collection was one of the largest private art collections ever amassed by an individual, unrivaled in quality, depth and breadth. The goal was to resell the vast trove which included modern and contemporary art, tribal, folk and decorative art. An unprecedented number of artworks were sold over a period of six years, successfully achieving the Stone family’s objectives. Members of the family expressed their appreciation:
“You transformed our family operation through your leadership, expertise and strategic process.”
“With deep appreciation and admiration for your amazing work, we salute you!”
