Legacy
In recent decades, Stickley and his work have become popularly recognized once again. It is particularly his early furniture, produced between 1901 and 1904 that is considered rare and ultra collectible. In 1988, Barbra Streisand paid $363,000 for a Stickley sideboard from Craftsman Farms; magazines such as Style 1900 and American Bungalow cater to those interested in the Arts and Crafts movement. A major touring exhibition organized by the Dallas Museum of Art, Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement, opened at the Newark Museum on September 15, 2010. The exhibition remained at the Dallas Museum of Art until May 8, 2011.
Gustav's brothers Leopold Stickley|Leopold (Lee), Albert Stickley|Albert, Charles Stickley|Charles and John George Stickley also produced Arts and Crafts furniture. Although no longer held by the Stickley family, the successor firm to the L. & J.G. Stickley Company continues to operate in Manlius, New York, producing furniture in a variety of styles, including reproductions of Arts and Crafts designs. The Stickley-Audi Company operates a museum featuring the work of the Stickley brothers near its factory site.http://www.stickleymuseum.com/
