Exceptional holdings include the Jack and Alfrieda Feddersen collection of Rembrandt etchings, the Noah L. and Muriel Butkin collection of 19th-century French art, the John D. Reilly collection of Old Master and 19th-century drawings, the Janos Scholz collection of 19th-century European photographs, and the Mr. and Mrs. Russell G. Ashbaugh, Jr., collection of Mestrovic sculpture and drawings. Other collection strengths include Olmec and Preclassic Mesoamerican art, 20th-century art, Northern Native American art, and decorative and design arts.

Outdoor sculpture is displayed on the University campus and in the Mary Loretto and Terrence J. Dillon Courtyard, which features two large kinetic sculptures by George Rickey. During the summer of 2007 additional works by Rickey were permanently installed in the Entrance Atrium Gallery. For more information on the Geogre Rickey Collection and Archives, contact Charles R. Loving, Director and Curator of the George Rickey Sculpture Archive (See Staff listing).

Nazi Era Provenance Questions should be directed to the associate director, Ann M. Knoll (see staff list for contact information). As a member of both the American Association of Museums (AAM) and the Association of Art Museum Directors, the Snite Museum of Art is reviewing its art collection files and will continue to add any objects in question to the site designed and managed by the AAM on behalf of the national museum community, the Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal, found at

http://www.aam-us.org/museumresources/prov/index.cfm.

The Portal provides a searchable registry of objects in museum collections that were created before 1946 and changed hands in Continental Europe during the Nazi era (1933-1945). People seeking objects can use the Portal to refine their search. For each registered object, the Portal provides an image of the work and basic descriptive information along with links to additional information provided by the participating museum.
