The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) has announced a gift of nearly 350 paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, design objects, and media art works from the estate of Norah and Norman Stone as well as an unrestricted bequest of more than $10 million. 

The Stones’ gift includes works by a diverse group of artists including Diane Arbus, Hans Bellmer, Marcel Duchamp, Jeff Koons, Sarah Lucas, Bruce Nauman, Francis Picabia, Sigmar Polke, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Carrie Mae Weems, Ai Wei Wei, and Danh Vo. The bequest will establish the Norah and Norman Stone Fund for Exhibitions of Contemporary Art, which will be dedicated to supporting exhibitions and collection displays at SFMOMA, the first of which, “Shifting the Silence” and “Speculative Portraits,” will open on April 9.

“Norah and Norman’s gift to SFMOMA is a true expression of their love for and dedication to the museum and the city of San Francisco,” said the Stones’ daughter, Amy Stone. “They deeply valued how art can inspire, move, and connect people. We hope their gift will help keep their love of contemporary art alive for years to come.”
