Anderson Gallery a major art donation to Stanford

Stanford University will receive a major donation of 121 works of painting and sculpture by 86 artists, including Jackson Pollock's "Lucifer," from a family of Peninsula art collectors. Added to existing art holdings, the gift moves Stanford to the front rank among universities with teaching museums.

The donation, from Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson of Atherton, Calif., and their daughter, Mary Patricia Anderson Pence, comprises the cream of their peerless collection of postwar American art.
