Much of what they have acquired relates to advanced Minimal and Conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s, and the various practices that these movements inspired in contemporary art. Donna and Howard Stone have been mainstay supporters of the MCA since the early 1990s and their donation of more than 90 works to the MCA stand as a testament to their generosity. 10" - 10".
