This event has ended.

The exhibition will include drawings, works on paper and mixed media constructions by one of the 20th century's most enigmatic and inventive artists.

Featured in the exhibition will be several emblematic works from Steinberg's retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 1978, and from the Steinberg "Illuminations," retrospective at the Morgan Library & Museum in 2006. "Dancing Couple,"1965, a drawing from Steinberg's Whitney Retrospective, shows a precisely rendered man dancing with a stick-figured woman. The drawing "Bleecker Street," 1971, was a famous New Yorker cover that was in both the Whitney and Morgan retrospectives - it depicts the promenade as a locus of culture of all types - an encyclopedic view of diverse, comic, city folk and creatures amidst the urban jungle. The exhibition will include a version of Steinberg's most recognized and celebrated drawing "View of the World from 9th Avenue."
