Marking the centennial of George Segal’s birth in 1924, the Zimmerli welcomes visitors to experience more than 60 works: some familiar, others rarely seen. With works drawn from the museum’s collection, as well as loans from the George and Helen Segal Foundation and private collections, the exhibition offers the unique opportunity to view Segal’s less well-known paintings, drawings, and photographs alongside his renowned life-sized plaster cast figures. In addition, photographs by Arnold Newman and Donald Lokuta capture Segal in his studio.
