Description

Saul Steinberg remains a hero of mine. He lived near me on Union Square in NYC and spent his later years near me in East Hampton. He had a tremendous influence on my art. He was a frequent contributor to The New Yorker magazine. So was my stepfather Joseph Farris.

Steinberg’s creativity and humor is apparent in this drawing titled “The Couple.” Steinberg had a keen eye for the colorful and occasionally seedy side of New York’s nightlife. These two dapper characters could have been seen on Park Avenue South in the mid-1970s. What’s offered here is a lithographic reproduction, produced in high fidelity by The Galerie Maeght in their magazine “Derriere le Miroir” to promote a Paris exhibition of his work in 1977. The artwork is 11 × 15 inches, framed in matte black. Overall size is 16½ × 20½ inches.
