Approximately 400 works of art on paper from the David Anderson Charitable Trust Collection will be on sale to the public from 1-6 p.m. May 5 in Center for the Arts, North Campus.

Prices will start at $50 and 85 percent of the proceeds will benefit UB’s Anderson Gallery.

The sale will include work by Karel Appel, Jim Dine, George Segal, Ludwig Sander and David Hayes, among others, and will be conducted by art dealer Dean Brownrout.

The works to be sold, Brownrout says, will include prints from Anderson’s private collection in a variety of styles and sizes.

“People will be able to purchase with confidence,” he says, “because these are museum-quality works, each with an impeccable provenance.”

The late David K. Anderson inherited the art acumen of his mother, world-renowned art collector and dealer Martha Jackson, a Buffalo native. Her influential Manhattan gallery promoted modern American artists and many artists not well-known in the U.S.

After attending UB in the 1950s, David Anderson opened art galleries in his own name, first in New York, then Paris, while building his reputation as an accomplished art dealer, collector and philanthropist. His gift of the Anderson Gallery and its collection to UB made him a major benefactor of the university and the Western New York community before his death in 2009 at age 74.

“David Anderson specifically indicated that he wanted to get these works on the walls of Western New York homes,” Brownrout says, “so this event would have pleased him.”

In addition to the Anderson Gallery, proceeds from the sale will benefit Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, Buffalo History Museum, Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo Prep, Buffalo Zoo, Burchfield Penney Art Center, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Nichols School, Park School of Buffalo, SPCA of Erie County and Westminster Presbyterian Church.
