Inge Morath: The Saul Steinberg Mask Series

Nowadays, when one encounters a mask crafted by Saul Steinberg, it's likely to be mounted in plexiglass on a gallery wall. Steinberg himself had a lot of fun with some of these masks, clowning with them and posing for a series of photographs taken by photographer Inge Morath. Here are three examples from the Saul Steinberg Mask Series that appeared at Swann Auction Galleries over the last few years:
