AT THE ALLEN / FALL 2025 / 21 THE ALLEN’S GRADUATES As part of a graduation tradition, the Allen’s Education Department designs custom stoles for student employees, each inspired by a work of art on view. Max Andrejco wears this year’s stole, drawing inspiration from artist Miriam Schapiro. The orange gloves, a must-have tool for those handling art, were awarded for his careful work with Michael Reynolds learning the ropes of a preparator. I love it!
