Saul Steinberg April 14 - July 9, 1978
an exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City
The major retrospective exhibition of Saul Steinberg's work at the Whitney Museum which opened in April chronicles a unique artistic development. The volume under review here has been 'published in conjunction with' the show, but it is by no means merely an illustrated catalogue of the exhibition, or merely the most recent of the artist's books of published work, or even an occasion for Harold Rosenberg's wise and pointed essay. It includes and transcends these.
