The unique works on paper found within Salon Style provide an increasingly rich and diverse view of the artists represented in the Anderson Collection at Stanford University as well as others. These rarely exhibited collages, watercolors, drawings, and paintings open a window into the artists’ varied artistic practices. From the visually complex collages of Wallace Berman and Jess, to the sensual pastel surfaces of Elizabeth Murray, Ed Ruscha, and Jay DeFeo to the dense linear abstractions of Terry Winters, these dynamic works expand one’s understanding of the depth and diversity of these contemporary American artists.
