Academic career

She studied at the University of Melbourne and Bryn Mawr College, Philadelphia. In 1970 she was elected the first woman Rhodes Fellow at St Hugh's College, Oxford. She remained as a lecturer in art history at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, from 1975 to 1996.[2]

In 1997 Anderson was appointed Herald Chair of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne, a post she held until 2014.[3] Her monograph on Giorgione (1996/7) remains one of the most authoritative studies of the artist.[4]

Anderson was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities in 1999.[5]

In 2008 Anderson was elected president of the International Committee of the History of Art (Comité International d'Histoire de l'Art, CIHA), in which role she developed global art history until 2012.[6]

In 2009 she was appointed Foundation Director of the Australian Institute of Art History.[7][8]

In 2015 she received an Italian knighthood from the President of the Republic of Italy, the only art historian to have been awarded the Order of the Star of Italy (Ufficiale dell’Ordine della Stella d’Italia), for her outstanding contribution to the study of Venetian art history, especially Giorgione.[9]

In the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours Anderson was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for "significant service to tertiary education, particularly to art history in Australia".[10]
