Saul Steinberg's New Yorker Cover Poster View of the World
View of the World from 9th Avenue, 1976

Saul Steinberg was one of the greatest illustrators of the 20th century, a world-famous artist and illustrator who, during his career, collaborated with the major American periodicals, including ‘Life’, ‘Time’, ‘Harper's Bazaar’, but is best known for his collaboration between the 1940s and 1980s with The New Yorker, a magazine for which he produced illustrations, cartoons, drawn reports and dozens of covers.
With his essential, scratchy lines and his metaphysical imagery influenced by Dadaism and Art Deco, Steinberg depicted views of New York and visionary, surreal compositions on the magazine's covers.

Steinberh suggested replacing the word ‘autobiography’ with ‘autogeography’, as if life were essentially a matter of places, locations and perspectives, as in this famous cover of the New Yorker of 29 March 1976, entitled ‘View of the World from 9th Avenue’, which shows the world as seen from an unspecified point on the famous street.
The poster is presented in a frame.
