Max Neufeldt “Assembledge” Mixed-Media Assemblage, 1975
An original 1975 assemblage by California artist Max Neufeldt, this sculptural collage marries an eclectic array of found materials—sections of carpet, banister fragments, tin pans, ceramic tiles, a vintage photograph and more—into a harmoniously textured relief. Each element is thoughtfully arranged on a sturdy wooden panel, exemplifying Neufeldt’s signature fusion of industrial and domestic artifacts. The resulting work feels both grounded and lyrical, evoking memories of everyday life rendered poetic through his artful composition.

Born in Sylvia, Kansas in 1938 and raised in Mount Vernon, New York, Max Neufeldt earned his MFA from Pratt Institute before establishing himself in Venice and Santa Barbara, California. His celebrated career was built on transforming quotidian objects—scissors, cheese graters, keys, and architectural remnants—into what critics called “quiet relics of a pre-digital age.” Neufeldt exhibited at institutions such as the Pasadena Art Museum and was featured in major design publications throughout the American West. He passed away in 2025, leaving behind a legacy of work that continues to resonate for its inventive use of materials and quietly poetic spirit.
Provenance
From the Estate of Max Neufeldt (Santa Barbara, CA). Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the estate.
