About the Item

Artist: Saul Steinberg Title: Taxi - Galerie Maeght Year: 1977 Medium: Lithograph, signed and numbered in pencil Edition: XX/150 Size: 23 in. x 31 in. (78.74 cm x 58.42 cm) Condition: In excellent condition A beautiful lithography for the Saul Steinberg for his 1977 exhibition at Galerie Maght in Paris, printed by Mourlot in Paris, France in 1977. Saul Steinberg (American, 1914–1999) was a Romanian-born cartoonist and illustrator, who worked for the New Yorker for nearly 60 years. Steinberg briefly studied philosophy at the University of Bucharest and then architecture at the Polytechnic in Milan, graduating in 1940. Fleeing World War II, the artist spent a year waiting in the Dominican Republic for a US visa; eventually the New Yorker magazine sponsored his entry, leading to a life-long relationship with the publication. Steinberg drew 90 covers and more than 1,200 drawings for the magazine, but his quirky, sharply observed drawings, at times reminiscent of Dada, also crossed over into the fine arts world. Along with Arshile Gorky and Robert Motherwell, Steinberg exhibited work at in the show Fourteen Americans at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1948 and at the Betty Parsons Gallery, which was at the center of the Abstract Expressionist movement. The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York also held a Steinberg retrospective in 1978. The artist died in 1999; after his death, the Saul Steinberg Foundation was established to preserve and promote his work.

Sam's Art, from the New York International portfolio, signed/n lithograph 1966
By Saul Steinberg
Located in New York, NY
Saul Steinberg Sam's Art, from The New York International Portfolio), 1966 Lithograph on wove paper with blind stamp Pencil signed and numbered 12/225 on the front Published by Tanglewood Press, Knickerbocker Machine and Foundry, Inc., New York Printed by Irwin Hollander with blind stamp Unframed This Steinberg lithograph is titled Sam's Art, which of course refers to Uncle Sam, the nickname for the United States government. It features his version of the motto seen on our dollar bills, "Annuit Coeptis", which is one of the mottoes found on the Great Seal of the United States. It is directly underneath the "Eye of Providence" and is translated by the US Treasury and State Department as "God (or Providence) favors our undertakings". American President Abraham Lincoln, sitting in front of an easel, is also depicted as an artist in this telling 1960s work. Commentary: "In Saul Steinberg’s lithograph ‘Sam’s Art’, Abraham Lincoln, in stove-pipe hat, poses as the artist in front of his canvas. While his attention looks fixed on rendering the slightly wobbly pyramid with an eye, the Masonic motif from the back of the one dollar bill, the line from his brush has floated off the canvas to become a cubist-futurist cloud in the sky. The American Eagle looks on, perched on a civil war cannon...
