Biographical Note

Jsreal Ben Neumann [JBN] was born in Austria in 1887. In 1910, he opened his first book and art store in Berlin, displaying works by such artists as Edvard Munch. By 1922, branches were opened in Bremen, Düsseldorf, and Munich. Neumann moved to New York City in 1923; a year later he would open a gallery, first called J.B. Neumann's Print Room and later the New Art Circle gallery, which was also known as a meeting spot for artists and art lovers. He championed progressive living artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Max Beckmann, Paul Klee, and Georges Rouault. His wife, Elsa Schmidt, was a well-known artist who worked in mosaics. In addition to being an art dealer, Neumann was an art critic, author, lecturer, and publisher. Periodicals issued by Neumann include Bilderhefte (Berlin, 1920-1922) and Art Lover (New York, 1926-1945, 1959). Neumann died in Rye, New York on April 28, 1961.

Series IX: J.B. Neumann Correspondence Received from Peter Neumann 1919-1964

Correspondence between J.B. Neumann and artists, art historians, art dealers, museum directors and curators, writers, and others. Peter Neumann donated this material to the MoMA Archives in 2017 and 2020. This series was added in 2023.

Some of these letters may be duplicates of those in Series I, here in their original form.

Minimal arranging was completed to organize the folders in alphabetical order by correspondent's last name. Several folders of empty envelopes were received in no discernible order, though original order was maintained. Discrete stacks of envelopes were often broken into several folders, which are labeled with "1 of 2," "2 of 2," etc. Many of the empty envelopes at the end of the series may correspond to the letters in this series and Series I. In most cases, senders' names are printed or written on the envelopes, which is usually postmarked with the date. Two folders of clippings (IX.79 and IX.80) were removed from their original arrangement, among the correspondence, to the end of the series.
