This exhibition presents etchings by Canaletto (Antonio Canal, 1697-1768) and Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804), two of the great Italian artists who made Venice an artistic capital during the eighteenth century. Pairing Canaletto’s only major printmaking endeavor—a series of landscape views—with etchings of expressive heads by Domenico Tiepolo, the exhibition draws largely from the collection of the Arthur Ross Foundation, New York.

Fluxus celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012. A radical, experimental, and multimedia art movement of the mid-twentieth century that continues to influence contemporary art, Fluxus focuses on the unpredictable, ordinary, and ephemeral moments of everyday life. Rutgers was an important center of Fluxus activity in the early 1960s and 1970s. This exhibition focuses on the university’s legacy as a center of experimental art.
Moscow artist Valery Yurlov (born 1932) worked in the ‘60s and ‘70s when Soviet nonconformist artists were forming movements and grouping into collectives. Yurlov worked alone, beyond the confines of politics and ideologies, his work standing out as one of the earliest examples of geometric analytical abstraction within Soviet nonconformist art. This exhibition continues a series of one-man shows devoted to early nonconformist artists.

Rachel Perry Welty is a Boston-based conceptual artist who creates humorous, beautifully crafted, process-based work on the subject of life in the twenty-first century. Addressing issues that include consumerism and the cycle of purchasing, collecting and eventual purging, as well as social networking, information overload, narcissism, language and time, she uses fruit stickers, restaurant take-out containers, messages left on her answering machine, medical records, toys, and email spam as materials for her art.

John Taylor Arms (1897-1953), an American etcher who specialized in the depiction of architecture, created prints that astonished viewers with his extraordinary skill in capturing detail. Originally an architect and a great admirer of Gothic architecture, Arms began in 1923 his ambitious project of documenting Europe's major churches through a series of prints. Selected from the Zimmerli’s collection, this exhibition features twenty-six prints dating between 1919 and 1940.
