About The Collection
The Riverside Art Museum (RAM) stewards a permanent collection of approximately 1,500 objects. The collection has been referred to by New York-based independent curator, Margaret Matthew Berenson, as “’a survey collection’…one that provides its audience a sweeping glimpse of the history of art.” The collection’s greatest strengths are print works (lithographs, serigraphs, intaglio, monotype, relief, photographs, and posters), mixed media works, and paintings and watercolors of California landscapes.
Some notable artists in the RAM collection include: Karl Benjamin, Rex Brandt, Millard Sheets, Toulouse Lautrec, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Shepard Fairey, and Sister Corita Kent.
The Riverside Art Museum continues to be the largest visual arts museum serving the Inland Empire and our ability to provide this art historical perspective is invaluable to the region.
