### Saul Steinberg: *“Give Them a Riddle”*

Aug 22, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027 · on view

Saul Steinberg

Nearly all of 75 recently gifted works by Saul Steinberg: drawings, prints, wallpaper, sculptures and drawings on metal plates.

The show draws on a gift of 75 works from The Saul Steinberg Foundation to the Benton, tracing five decades of his practice. It runs from early commercial work and ink drawings to later sculptures of his workspace and drawings on unconventional surfaces such as metal plates.

It follows how Steinberg’s playful graphic language developed and how he used it to satirize post–World War II culture. It was organized by Victoria Sancho Lobis and student curatorial intern Arivumani Srivastava ’26.

### Robert Cumming: *Split-Second Misreads: Robert Cumming and the Fabrication of Illusion*

Feb 20 – Jun 27, 2027 · coming up

One of the largest presentations of Robert Cumming’s work, from early pieces to his Los Angeles photographs, sculpture, slides and videos.

The show centers on the years after Cumming moved to Los Angeles in 1970, when he combined fabrication and illusion. He built sculptural elements from scratch and photographed them in detailed 8x10 prints, staging tricks of perception, and he collected Hollywood continuity photographs and photographed Universal Studios sound stages.

It also includes early student-era works, the rediscovered photo collage Hollywood Front and Back (1971), paintings, mail art, artist books and videos from his archives, with loans and works by other artists. Solveig Nelson organized it, with a catalogue.
