10:AM: (Elevated Entrance - Upper Broadway) 1980 Screenprint, Printed by the Artist Limited Edition of 175, Signed and Dated

Morning sun illuminates an elevated station entrance, a structural beam, and a Spanish Tile roof within an adjacent train yard. While these elements were built to be utilitarian, at the turn of the twentieth century there was too much craftsmanship available to create without at least a bit of beauty.

The twelve silkscreen editions produced by Saul Chase between 1976 and 1981 were among the most highly regarded prints of the 70s and 80s. Important galleries including Pace Prints, Barbara Gladstone and Andrew Crispo sold literally hundreds of prints, with some editions sold out within a year. The screenprint “Goya” was a “Print of the Decade” selection in “Art News” in 1980,  and major museums including the Met, the Brooklyn, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Hirshorn have acquired prints for their permanent collections.
