Zimmer was born in 1973. She studied art history, Romance languages and media studies in Bordeaux, Göttingen, Münster and Hamburg.
In 2001 she was at the University of Göttingen with a thesis on art collectives around 1960 PhD. From April 2001 to August 2002 Zimmer was a scholarship holder of the state of Lower Saxony at the Central Institute for Art History in Munich. She then volunteered room at the Kunsthalle Hamburg.
From 2006, Zimmer was curator for nineteenth-century art and classical modernism at the Kunstmuseum Basel and vice-director for two years. In August 2016 she took over the management of the Kunstmuseum Bern, and at the same time she became the director of the Zentrum Paul Klee in a dual function.
Prior to her museum career in 2002 she was a guest lecturer at the Department of Art History University of Chicago and in 2004 Visiting Professor of Western art theory at Korea National University of Arts in Seoul, South Korea. Her field of research is the art of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Paul Klee was a Swiss-born German artist. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually deeply explored color theory, writing about it extensively; his lectures Writings on Form and Design Theory, published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are held to be as important for modern art as Leonardo da Vinci's A Treatise on Painting for the Renaissance. He and his colleague, Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture in Germany. His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.
