Feb. 7th, 2010 This film about the inveterate collector and gallery owner Allan Stone allows us a glimpse into the eclectic collections of Stone, as depicted by the director Olympia Stone, his daughter. Matt Zoller Seitz writing for the New York Times said, “Ms. Stone takes her camera through Mr. Stone’s home, so packed with notable items that it might be a secret annex of the Smithsonian.” Held in conjunction with Looking Back: Celebrating 60 Years of Collecting at the Asheville Art Museum and Looking Forward: Celebrating New Art and New Directions for the Permanent Collection.
