Max Neufeldt Aluminum Collage – Assemblage Sculpture, 1985A compelling example of Max Neufeldt’s "Tin Quilting" mature assemblage style, this 1985 aluminum collage marries industrial metal with warm wood in a poetic, wall-mounted composition. Found cake and pie pans are meticulously nailed to a solid wooden panel, creating a rhythmic interplay of reflected light and textured surfaces. Signed on the reverse “#392 Neufeldt Santa Barbara,” this piece captures the artist’s ability to transform everyday objects into evocative sculptural narratives.
