JEFF, IN HIS OWN VOICE

RECORDED JUNE 2026 · THIRTY-FOUR SECONDS · THE FIRST RECORDING IN THE ARCHIVE

He is still reworking old Guernica pieces today. And for the last four years he has been incorporating his grandchildren’s drawings into new work — Sebastian, Caspar, Anthony, and Emilia. No clear endpoint.

“Getting hard to tell where they end and I begin. I think that’s right.”

JEFFREY F. S. NEUMANN, 2026

THE RECORD, TODAY

1,087

WORKS — PHOTOGRAPHED, DESCRIBED, BACKED UP ·

THE COUNT IS EXACT. ONLY THE YEARS ARE ESTIMATES.

To whoever finds this,

This archive was built by the man who made the work, in the last years of his practice, so that the work wouldn’t disappear twice. It already disappeared once — five hundred to a thousand pieces, water and then bed bugs, no catalog. There is a room in this building for that.

Everything that survived is here. Every piece is photographed. Every piece is described. Every piece is backed up twice over. Nothing in this record is invented: years are marked as estimates, and every imagined exhibition is flagged as composite. What you are reading, you can trust.

Asked what he wants a grandchild to know, he answered: “That they would be very impressed if they had the chance to see all the works in one space.”

You are standing in that space. Keep it open.
