When the Anderson Collection at Stanford University temporarily closed for interior maintenance for the summer, five visitor-favorites from the permanent collection crossed the lawn to take up temporary residence at the Cantor Arts Center. The works are by Richard Diebenkorn, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still, who count among the most influential artists active in American abstraction from the 1940s to the 1970s. Their paintings are joined by two from Cantor’s permanent collection by Stanford faculty member Nathan Oliveira and San Francisco painter Elmer Bischoff and a loaned work by the Abstract Expressionist Franz Kline.

One indoor venue that s already back and with 100% capacity: Stanford s Cantor Arts Center, which can accommodate 2,000 visitors per day between Wednesday and Sunday. It began its gradual reopening in April, when it invited students and museum members to be its first visitors and then launched a Welcome Back ad campaign. The museum operated at 25% capacity at that time and required visitors to follow a timed-reservation system.

Since the June 15 reopening, Cantor has switched from a timed-reservation system to all-day reservations, which are free. The museum still requires all visitors to wear masks, consistent with the recommendations from the university. Its website continues to urge people to maintain social distance from others inside the museum.
