A personal record, not a gallery.
Jeffrey F. S. Neumann has been making things since the early 1970s — collage, assemblage, sculpture, photography, and experiments that resist easy category. This archive documents 1,084 of those works, spanning five decades of practice in Cleveland, Ohio.
The works here were made because making is the point. An estimated 500–1,000 earlier pieces were lost to water damage; what survived is here in full.
This is a place for family, friends, and anyone curious about a lifetime of looking and making.
