Saul Steinberg: IlluminationsCover pictures and drawings for "The New Yorker" made Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) famous.
However, it is not widely known that his drawings hung in the same galleries as the canvases of his New York School friends and that his European circle of fellow artists included Le Corbusier, Alberto Giacometti and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
This exhibition is his first retrospective in Switzerland.
In an age more inclined to see itself reflected in photographs, abstract art, cinema and television, Saul Steinberg, who died in 1999, was a master of the hand-drawn line.
His modernist, clean lines defined a twentieth-century style.
His first exhibition in Switzerland at the Kunsthaus Zurich will cover the full range of his art, with over one hundred drawings, collages and objects from The Saul Steinberg Foundation and private collections.
