The edition belongs to the legendary Derrière Le Miroir series, which presented original lithographs and exhibition content by 20th-century masters including Miró, Chagall, Giacometti, and Calder.Steinberg, an American artist of Romanian origin, was best known for his contributions to The New Yorker, as well as for his incisive drawings that critique modern life through playful visual metaphors.Artist or Maker: Saul Steinberg (1914-1999)Medium: Illustrated exhibition portfolioDate: 1953Dimensions: 28 cm x 38 cmCondition Report:This work is in good condition overall.
