About:
Anderson Galleries began as an auctioneer of books, prints, and occasionally called Anderson Auction Company. It was founded by John Anderson Jr. in 1900 and later renamed Anderson Galleries. In 1917, the gallery began selling antiques and art at their new location on Park Avenue and 59th Street. In the 1920s, Mitchell Kennerley, who ran the business, sold the works of Marsden Hartley, photographs of Alfred Stieglitz, and the works of Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, and Charles Demuth.
In 1926, Anderson Galleries took over important art sales from the American Art Association, beginning with the Viscount Leverhulme auction. Collector Cortlandt Field Bishop, owner of the American Art Association, bought Anderson Galleries in 1927. In 1929, the establishments merged to be the American Art Association-Anderson Galleries, Inc. and operated at 30 East 57th Street in Manhattan. It sold decorative arts, American and Italian antiques, and modern and antique art, like works of the Barbizon School. In 1932, an exhibition of Israel Sack, a dealer of decorative arts and furniture, was held at American Art Association-Anderson Galleries.
