Dear Friend of Art in Action,

Please join us for a private docent-led tour of  The Anderson Collection at Quadrus, Menlo Park on Wednesday, November  17, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. We hope you can join us after the tour for a no-host lunch at the Quadrus Cafe.

The Anderson Collection, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, is one of the largest and most outstanding private collections of 20th century American art in the world. The collection has been built over the last 40 years by Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, affectionately known as "Hunk" and "Moo" and by their daughter, Mary Patricia Anderson Pence, affectionately known as "Putter." It is notable that the Andersons built their collection without the assistance of outside curators or consultants. Over the years, Hunk and Moo spent a great deal of time and energy educating themselves about art history and about the individual artists whose work they collect. In the café and various Quadras buildings one sees the huge mixed media sculptures of Frank Stella, a favorite of the Andersons. Learn more about Stella.
