Legacy
Newman died in New York City of a heart attack in 1970.
Nine years after his death, Newman's widow Annalee founded the Barnett Newman Foundation. The Foundation not only functions as his official Estate, but also serves "to encourage the study and understanding of Barnett Newman's life and works." The Foundation was instrumental in creating Newman's Catalogue Raisonne in 2004. The U.S. copyright representative for the Barnett Newman Foundation is the Artists Rights Society.
