Collection Sharing
Works by Martin Puryear on display at the San Jose Museum of
Art in 2005
Collection Sharing supports the Andersons' commitment to making works from the Collection available to non-profit art institutions for exhibition purposes. We focus on institutions in the Bay Area and Western United States who can best utilize the resources of the Anderson Collection, the Anderson Graphic Arts Collection at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF), and/or the support of the Anderson Charitable Foundation. By loaning art free-of-charge or by providing financial support, we hope to encourage exhibitions that might not otherwise be developed.
Collection Sharing exists in two forms. The first relates directly to works currently within the Anderson Collection, and the second relates to a gift of 655 graphic works gifted to FAMSF in 1996 which are available for loan to approved institutions. These programs operate independently but collaboration is common with the Anderson Collection and the Anderson Graphic Arts Collection Curator at FAMSF. As illustrated in the list of past exhibitions, artwork can be borrowed from one or both of these Collections. Fundamentally, the goal of Collection Sharing is to make these resources available to the community.

Arts Collection at FAMSF.
Modeled after the Andersons' own private program (above), and in support of
small and mid-size museums in California and the western United States, the
Collection Sharing Program at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco lends
shows from the Anderson Graphic Arts Collection.
