✭ Rutgers University's Zimmerli Art Museum, New Brunswick, New Jersey, is presenting "George Segal" through December 31. (The show has been on view since September 2011.) Segal (1924-2000), who made his mark as a sculptor, also made paintings, drawings, and prints. In the exhibition, which features the many media and subjects the artist pursued, viewers will be able to see the early expressionist figurative painting Old Testament Moon (1958-59), the painted plaster and wood Girl Behind Chair and Bedpost (1975), Bus Shelter (1996), and Segal's seven-part wall relief, Pregnancy Series (1978), comprising serial sculptural imagery of development of the female body during pregnancy. The George and Helen Segal Foundation lent the paintings and sculptures for the show.
