This spring, the
Zimmerli partners with Sisterwork, a New Brunswick
start-up committed to addressing intergenerational poverty in New
Jersey, for this new series of free public workshops. The first
session, “Strike a Pose: Our Bodies as Works of Art,” explores the
different ways that body movement and performance have informed
visual culture, while participants learn a variety of yoga poses
inspired by the museum's collections. Workshops are conducted with
both English and Spanish instruction. Visit Zimmerli at Home Virtual Events for details and Zoom link (registration not
required).

Many works of art that were in private
collections before World War II were displaced, looted, or forcibly
sold during the National Socialist period. Recent attempts to recover
lost and stolen masterworks have led to high-profile ownership
disputes in the United States. In this lecture, Rutgers alumna
Victoria S. Reed, Curator for Provenance at the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston, examines the fate of these collections. She pays particular
attention to the journeys of highlights from the MFA’s collection, as
well as recognized paintings by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.
Current Zimmerli members are invited to register on Zoom. Not yet a member? Learn more here.

recognition of International Women's Month, the evening features a
preview of Communism Through the Lens: Everyday
Life Captured by Women Photographers in the Dodge Collection.

political art, documentary photography, and gender. Spanning almost
the entirety of the Soviet Union’s history - from the 1920s through
the 1990s - it offers a historical look at how women photographers
interpreted life in the communist state. Register for free here!
