Overview

The first book celebrating the extensive contemporary art collection of Jerome and Ellen Stern as displayed in their Hamptons ArtBarn Secluded in the woods of Westhampton Beach, New York, was once a so-called ‘barn’ filled to the brim with an ever-changing selection of incredible contemporary art. This was the ArtBarn, with multiple gallery rooms for rotating displays of sculpture, photography, and paintings, with artwork spilling out into the surrounding woods and beachfront. ArtBarn: The Stern Collection is the first and only publication to chronicle Jerome and Ellen Stern’s remarkable private collection, which has since been dispersed. Featured are over 250 works by renowned artists, all photographed in situ at the artist-designed barn.  The book highlights works by Wangechi Mutu, Yayoi Kusama, David Hammons, Ana Mendieta, Scott Burton, Gerhard Richter, John Waters, Olafur Eliasson, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye – and many more. This beautifully designed book offers tribute to this bold, influential, and inimitable collection.
