Presenting the first edition of Saul Steinberg’s iconic “View of the World from 9th Avenue,” originally created in 1976. This legendary poster, featured on the cover of The New Yorker, captures a humorous and exaggerated view of the world from the New Yorker’s perspective. In this whimsical illustration, Manhattan dominates the scene, while the rest of the world—from the Hudson River to the Pacific Ocean—gradually fades into the background. The piece playfully mocks the New York-centric worldview, showing Steinberg's masterful use of minimalism, bold lines, and satire.

Steinberg (1914-1999), a Romanian-born artist, was celebrated for his extraordinary ability to blend surrealism and satire in his artwork. A regular contributor to The New Yorker for nearly six decades, his illustrations and cartoons have become cultural touchstones. “View of the World from 9th Avenue” is one of his most celebrated works, known for its wit and sharp commentary on how urban dwellers, particularly New Yorkers, perceive the world.

This large-format lithograph (102 x 74 cm) is not only a humorous and iconic piece but a symbol of 1970s American culture. Its oversized dimensions and vivid detail make it a statement artwork for any collection. The poster’s legacy has transcended its original publication, now regarded as a timeless symbol of urban life, perspective, and satire.

For collectors of pop culture and modern art, this original The New Yorker poster offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of visual and cultural history. Its significance and enduring popularity make it a must-have for those looking to add a rare and meaningful work to their collection.
