1. 1. “A City on Paper: Saul Steinberg’s New York”

2. 2. “Saul Steinberg: Illuminations”

   At the Morgan Library & Museum

   This extensive review—the first of its kind—brings together 100 drawings, collages, and sculptural constructions dating to the thirties, before his defining New Yorker run began.
