Permanent collection American art The Zimmerli Art Museum's American art collection contains more than 16,500 objects. It includes paintings, sculpture, works on paper (prints, drawings, and photographs), and decorative arts. The earliest paintings in the Zimmerli collection date to the late eighteenth century, when the United States and Rutgers University – then called Queen's College – were in their infancy. Reflecting America's rich artistic and cultural heritage, the museum showcases examples of portraiture, landscape, still life, narrative art, and abstraction. Modern and contemporary styles represented in the collection include precisionism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction, pop art, op art, Fluxus, photo-realism, and minimalism, as well as works that explore social and political issues. Work by women artists is a distinguishing aspect of the museum's American holdings and signals the pioneering role of Rutgers in women's studies. European art The Zimmerli collection of European art comprises paintings, sculpture, works on paper, rare books, and decorative arts, and ranges in date from the Renaissance to the present, totaling close to 10,000 objects, with its primary strength in French nineteenth-century works on paper, notably prints and rare books. Strongly represented subjects include portraits and caricatures, landscapes, and popular entertainments. Also among the European holdings is a renowned collection of Japonisme, late-nineteenth-century works by European artists inspired by Japanese art and aesthetics. In 2011, the Zimmerli restituted a rare Renaissance portrait by Hans Baldung Grien to the heirs of Friedrich and Louise Gutmann who had been murdered by Nazis in concentration camps. The painting had been donated to Rutgers by Rudolf Heinemann who, according to the Zimmerli, had acquired it from Rosenberg and Stiebel. Russian art and Soviet nonconformist art The Zimmerli Russian and Soviet nonconformist art holdings contain some 22,000 objects and provide an overview of art in Russia from the fourteenth century to the present.
