Description from the seller
Steinberg - The New Yorker 1976
Original poster, first printing, large format 100x70 cm. Printed on paper. At the top is the masthead of the famous magazine, at the bottom the signature of the illustrator. Saul Steinberg was among the greatest illustrators of the twentieth century, a world-renowned artist and illustrator who throughout his career collaborated with major American magazines, including Life, Time, Harper's Bazaar, but best known for his collaboration between the 1940s and 1980s with The New Yorker, a magazine for which he produced drawings, cartoons, illustrated reportage, and dozens of covers. With his pared-down, sharp line and his metaphysical imagery influenced by Dadaism and Art Deco, Steinberg depicted on the magazine’s covers views of New York and visionary and surreal compositions. Steinberg suggested replacing the word “autobiography” with “autogeography,” as if life were essentially a matter of places, of locations and perspectives, as in this famous New Yorker cover of March 29, 1976, titled "View of the World from 9th Avenue" which shows the world seen from an indeterminate point on the famous street. The poster is framed.
