Contemporary Painting and Sculpture


Playing out such modernist concerns as biography, spiritualism, surrealism, expressionism, and realism, works in the collection after 1970 were primarily created by American artists.

A selection of works from the UIMA's collection of Contemporary Painting and Sculpture is now on view at the UIMA@IMU, located in the Iowa Memorial Union's third-floor Richey Ballroom.
