Synopsis

John R. Anderson Uncovered is a catalogue that presents the first large-scale exhibition and sale of work by artist John R. Anderson.

73 Art Agency's aspirations were simple albeit arduous: to uncover John Anderson's hidden paintings in Yankton, South Dakota, and showcase them in Denver, Colorado, the state in which the artist studied and painted. This selection of 51 extraordinary works of abstract acrylic paintings, ranging in color and size, effectively demonstrates Anderson's exploration of Lyrical Abstraction and reveals his true artistic talent and mastery to the general public.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Their overall mission is to create a fun, less intimidating art scene and experience. 73 Art Agency was founded in 2015 and is based in Colorado.

John R. Anderson was born in Yankton, South Dakota, in 1931. As a student of the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts, he participated in Oskar Kokoschka's symposia in 1952, then earned his BFA at the University of Denver School of Art in 1958, when Vance Kirkland was its director. In the late 1960s, Anderson painted extensively in Mexico, inspired by pre-Columbian art. He held his first major show at the Guadalajara Jalisco State Gallery, however, the revolutionary abstract art was met with overtly hostile criticism. Anderson moved to London to pursue his artistic aspirations. In 1971, he returned to Yankton to paint in isolation as he developed a deep and authentic form of personal expression. Although Anderson held a solo show at the Yankton Area Arts Association at G.A.R. Hall in 2009, his mystifying story and paintings remained hidden from the rest of the world. In November 2017, a 73 Art Agency team traveled to meet Anderson and tour his studio. In April 2018, 51 of his lyrical abstract paintings were selected and showcased for the exhibition Uncovered in Colorado. In 2019, works presented in this catalogue were shown at the 73 Art Agency Skybox art exhibition. In March 2020, another small selection of paintings were displayed at The South Dakota Art Museum and two acquired for the museum's permanent art collection. John R. Anderson passed away in Yankton in 2021, undeniably leaving his mark on the world of art.
