Saul Steinberg: Masterful. Genius. Witty. Broadly talented. And there must be hundreds of his works in this show!
EXHIBITION
Saul Steinberg Milano New York
Triennale Design Museum, Milano
Until 13 March 2022
The exhibition, curated by Italo Lupi and Marco Belpoliti with Francesca Pellicciari, and put on together with the Electa publishing company, celebrates the city of Milan, where Steinberg lived and to which he dedicated many of his works. The display includes a series of pencil, ink and watercolour drawings, paper masks, objects, and sculptures, as well as documents and photographs, selected with the assistance of the Saul Steinberg Foundation and other important institutions, as well as Steinberg’s friends and collectors.
(Since all pieces were encased in plexiglass, I had to angle enough to reduce glare and reflection in the photos, but this yielded distortion and some “self-portraits with Steinberg.)
