David Byrne and Saul Steinberg in Dialogue at 125 Newbury
125 Newbury presents David Byrne/Saul Steinberg: Influence and Affinity, a joint exhibition running from May 28 through August 1. The show pairs drawings, watercolors, prints, and collages by Steinberg with drawings and never-before-seen banner works by Byrne. Despite being separated by generations, both artists share a wry humor and sharp observational creativity. Steinberg, known for transforming modern signs into surreal works on paper, was a major artist-philosopher of the 1940s and 1950s whose drawings frequently appeared in The New Yorker.
