Peter Saul

In a career spanning more than six decades and around 800 paintings, Saul is celebrated for his vibrant and provocative style that fuses elements of Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism. Today, Saul continues to create worlds born from grotesque exaggerations and unapologetic social critique. Saul’s practice holds up a mirror to the art world, questioning the seriousness with which the art world regards itself, exposing the ego and economics that shape it. Spanning his 60-year career, this exhibition- featuring works from the 1960s to 2024- continues his witty analysis of the industry's politics, mechanics and art history. Across a lifetime of channeling the absurd, Saul’s signature mix of humor and critique remains vivid on the canvas. His works can be found in permanent museum collections around the world including the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, TX; the Dallas Museum of Art, TX; and the Art Institute of Chicago, among many others.
