Description: Max Neufeldt was one of the six artists of the 1966 display of "66 Signs" by Noah Purifoy. This is an original pen and ink drawing signed by the artist. For a week in August 1965, the city of Watts burned an outpouring of grief and rage from L.A.s historic African American heart in protest of decades of economic marginalization and mistreatment at the hands of the police. Cafes, shoe stores, liquor shops, and food markets all went up in flames. Entire blocks were devastated. 103rd Street between Success Avenue and Grape Street was dubbedCharcoal Alleybecause nearly every building on that strip had been reduced to rubble. And out of this rubble, Purifoy and his collaborators Powell, along with artists Max Neufeldt, Arthur Secunda, Ruth Saturensky and Debby Brewer made art: sculptures crafted out of burned wood, rusty fumigation cans, old piano pedals and piles of blackened nails, sculptures that played as much with art history as they did with the charged nature of the materials, which still reeked of smoke.
