Saul Steinberg Prints at Schumacher
Artist Saul Steinberg is perhaps most famous for his New Yorker covers – especially his View of the World cover from 1976. However, he was also a very successful fine artist, as well as a sometime designer of textiles. Schumacher discovered Steinberg’s work in Greeff’s archives. Greef is a company Schumacher now owns.¬† The decision to re-introduce Steinberg’s work must have been a no-brainer, and here they are for us to enjoy. This new collection is comprised of fabrics and wallcovering using four of his original designs from the 1950′s.
- Aviary is a wallcovering. It comes in this colorful colorway, as well as black and white.
- New York is both a fabric and a wallcovering. One colorway only.
The Opera print, below, was discovered in the Schumacher archives as an original Greeff print (Schumacher now owns that company). I think they’re too fab. That means awesome.
- Opera is available as a fabric. It comes in two colorways.
- Views of Paris is available as a wallcovering. One colorway is available.
Schumacher fabrics are available through the trade. I don’t believe you can find them online. This means you’ll need to go through a professional to purchase this line. You can always contact me directly for a price quote.

Soooo funny! We had this, or something just like this, as the wallcovering in our tiiiiny little loo, under the stairs. My mother said that she’d kill us if we colored it in!

I was trying to hunt down a price on the Aviary wall covering (in color) by Saul Steinberg. And how to order. I saw it on Shumacher’s web site several months ago and am still very interested, I keep going back to it.
I live about 7 hours north of you, in Newberry MI, and our winters are void of color and sunshine. February would be alot more fun if this were in my new entry!Thankyou!

I will get the price and let you know. I purchase this a lot for readers – I should have it memorized by now. But I need to check on any potential price increase.

I love it! Saw it at the Soho Grand.
Thanks,

I posted all the prices in this post. Let me know if you’re interested in a purchase. I’m waiving the $30 service fee. And my prices are lower than those posted. They’re the full retail price. If you’re interested, contact me via the “contact” button at the top of the blog. Cheers!
These are really super cool. Great find, Jennifer.
