At the time of his death, the majority of his paintings and works on paper as well as half of his sculptures were still in the artist’s possession. Over the next three decades Annalee Newman, his widow, placed the artistic estate in collections of international importance. The oeuvre now resides predominantly in public institutions where the general public may have the opportunity to view Newman’s work in person.
