Highlights from the Bolker Collection

Jundt Galleries, September 12, 2026 to January 9, 2027
Opening reception: Friday, September 11, 2026, 4 to 7pm

Drawn from the founding gift of Dr. Norman and Esther Bolker to the Jundt Art Museum, this exhibition focuses on a selection from the museum’s permanent collection. Beginning in 1964 with the purchase of a color woodcut, Pisa, by Irving Amen, the collectors amassed one of the more important print groupings in this region. The Bolkers gave Gonzaga University more than 750 objects over three generous donations in 1984, 1995, and 2003, and supported the art with an endowment established at Gonzaga in 2015. The collection and this exhibition range from 16th century European prints to late 20th century American works, including art by Rembrandt van Rijn, Käthe Kollwitz, and Pablo Picasso. Given, as the donors desired, “for art students to study and for the community to enjoy,” the Bolker Collection remains at the core of the mission of the Jundt Art Museum.
