Biography[edit]
Robert W. Newmann was born in 1944 in Nyack, New York.[1] He attended Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Iowa, and the Corcoran College of Art and Design.
In 1984, he was part of a New York lawsuit, Newmann vs. Delmar Realty Co. over the completion of a New York City mural sandblasted on the side of a brick wall.[6][7] The lawsuit was notable for establishing artists legal rights in the case of defaced public artwork.[8]
Newmann's work is included in the public museum collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[1]
