bioghist: label: Biographical / Historical
content: The Jeremy Stone Gallery was founded in San Francisco, California, in 1982 by Jeremy Stone. 

The daughter of New York art dealer, gallerist, and collector Alan Stone, Stone became involved in the art world working part-time in her father's gallery during high school and college. After graduating, Stone held internships and positions as a researcher, guest curator, and consultant for projects at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Richard L. Nelson Gallery at the University of California, Davis. In 1979, Stone curated her first exhibition, 30 Years of Box Constructions, at the Sunne Savage Gallery. Stone opened the Jeremy Stone gallery shortly after moving to San Francisco in 1981. She exhibited modern and contemporary art by emerging and mid-career American artists. Artists include Sylvia Lark, Marshall Crossman, Susan Hauptman, Guy Diehl, Stanley Goldstein, and many more. Stone curated and mounted over 80 exhibitions until the gallery closed its doors in 1991. Stone subsequently worked as an art consultant, curating exhibitions and supporting attorneys with legal cases concerning art and artists' works. She currently serves on the faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute.
