On October 9, 2012 Stanford University broke ground on the Anderson Collection building, which will house the private art
collection of Harry W. Anderson, Mary Margaret Anderson, and Mary Patricia Anderson Pence. The Anderson Collection building
is adjacent to the Cantor Arts Center and the McMurtry Building for Art and Art History. The Anderson Gallery is anticipated
to open in late 2014.
The Anderson Collection at Stanford will contain 121 works by 86 artists, including some of the foremost examples of post-World
War II American art in public and private hands. The collection is anchored in the work of the New York School and key modern
and contemporary artists collected in depth, across media. Major movements represented include Abstract Expressionism, Color
Field Painting, Post-Minimalism, California Funk Art, Bay Area Figurative Art, Light and Space and contemporary painting and
sculpture.
