Two oil paintings by John Anderson were exhibited at the 1866 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition. He is believed to be the same John Anderson of New Zealand who was visiting Victoria around this period, and who became a farmer after a brief period as a photographer in Auckland.

The earliest auction listing we have for John Anderson is in 1995 and in total 20 works by the artist have been offered for sale, of which 12 (60%) were sold. The highest price recorded for the artist is $18,000 for Summer sold by Sotheby's in August 2003. No works have been offered for sale this year, and the last sale we have recorded for the artist was in 2023. Works by John Anderson are held by the Suter Art Gallery and National Gallery of Australia.
