Watch my series of Vera videos showcasing my collection that spans 60 years of her empire.

I received some fantastic news about Vera Neumann from Fred Salaff.

"Hello Francisco, It was great to discover your appreciation for the work of my aunt, Vera Neumann with whom I was very close and worked with her for many years. In the 1970's I produced several films about her and have now remastered them to dvd and they are distributed at:

Incidentally, Vera was born in 1907 (not in 1910). My father, Philip Salaff, Vera's brother was born in 1910. They worked together for more than 35 years."

VERA NEUMANN), U.S. artist and designer (b. July 24, 1907, Stamford, Conn.--d. June 15, 1993, North Tarrytown, N.Y.), created brightly coloured scarves, bedroom and kitchen linens, and draperies and sportswear that bore her name. Vera, who had been a designer of children's furniture and murals, used only her first name after founding (1946), with her husband, George Neumann, and F. Werner Hamm, a textile expert, the Vera Companies for silk-screened prints. She created both realistic and abstract designs, and her motifs included flowers, leaves, ferns, grass, vegetables, the Sun, and ladybugs. Her designs also adorned plastics and needlepoint products. Vera served as president of the company, which became a subsidiary of Manhattan Industries in 1967 and, from 1988, a division of Salant Corp. She continued to produce designs under the Vera signature until shortly before her death. In 1972 the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. mounted an exhibit of her designs.
