Umlauf worked for the Federal Art Project, completing public commissions throughout Illinois. He and his family eventually relocated to Austin, Texas where he held a position in the Art Department of the University of Texas for over four decades. In 1984, Umlauf and his wife, Angeline, bequeathed their home and studio - and their respective contents, including drawings and sculptures - to the city of Austin. In 1991 these items were incorporated into the four acres of what is now known as the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden and Museum; the artist's personal sculpture garden is on an adjacent two acres and will eventually become a part of UMLAUF.
