This striking metal collage is an original work by renowned California-based artist Max Neufeldt (1938–2025). Crafted from found objects and welded metal, the piece showcases Neufeldt’s signature assemblage style — poetic, industrial, and rich with nostalgic character.
About Max: Born in Sylvia, Kansas, and raised in Mount Vernon, New York, Neufeldt studied at Ohio Wesleyan University and earned his Master of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute. His work reflects a small-town sensibility fused with the conceptual rigor of fine art training.
Neufeldt gained recognition in Venice and Santa Barbara, California, for transforming everyday items — scissors, cheese graters, keys, and tools — into evocative sculptural forms. His pieces were once described as “quiet relics of a pre-digital age,” seamlessly blending industrial metal with softer materials like wood to create artworks that are both grounded and poetic.
This particular metal collage is a strong example of his mature style — thoughtful, tactile, and reflective of his deep respect for materials. A rare opportunity to own an original work by a widely exhibited artist whose sculptures appeared in venues like the Pasadena Art Museum and were featured in numerous California design publications.
