Greetings, Saul Steinberg

Presented by the Hallmark Art Collection, this exhibition features dozens of original mixed media drawings by Saul Steinberg. Perhaps best known for his cover illustrations for The New Yorker magazine, Steinberg was born in 1914 to a Jewish family in Romania, but he fled Europe in 1941 to escape the persecution of Jews. While living in the U.S., Steinberg collaborated with many companies who featured his memorable illustrations on their products. He had a long partnership with Hallmark Cards, creating over 100 works for greeting cards, calendars, and gift products. In this exhibition, viewers will see a selection of Steinberg’s original drawings from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as historic products and correspondence from the Hallmark Archives. (The Greetings, Saul Steinberg exhibit complements the “Auschwitz: Not long ago. Not far away.” exhibition at Union Station.) Crown Center Shops, Gallery at 2450, Level 2. Open Monday – Saturday, 10am to 6pm; Sunday & Holidays, Noon to 5pm. FREE. 816-274-8444.  {Image credit: Hallmark Art Collection, Saul Steinberg, Untitled, c. 1954}
