Triennale #Milano and Electa are devoting a long-awaited exhibition to #saulsteinberg (1914-1999), curated by #italolupi and #marcobelpoliti in collaboration with #francescapellicciari The exhibition is a tribute that Milan owes to this great artist, who dedicated so many of his sharply intelligent works to the city in which he resided during his formative years. The installation on the first floor of the #triennale in the great “Curva”, a vantage point in the Palazzo dell’Arte, was designed by #italolupi, #icomigliore and #maraservetto in a sensitive dialogue with its architecture. The exhibition is filled with drawings in pencil, pen, crayon; with works made using rubber stamps and watercolour, paper masks, objects/sculptures, fabrics and collages, documenting Steinberg’s intense and versatile artistic output. These works are complemented with documenting material and photographs which provide a closer understanding of the artist’s life. In addition the set up shows a meticulous selection of original magazines and books including some of Steinberg’s most significant contributions, for instance the famous covers for ‘’The New Yorker’’.

350 works circa, come from important institutions, such as the #saulsteinberg Foundation, the Jewish Museum and the Hedda Sterne Foundation, #newyork, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as well as collectors and friends of Steinberg, both in Italy and abroad.
