Saul Chase Shop

During the latter part of the 20th century, collectors worldwide eagerly acquired Saul Chase silkscreen prints from elite dealers, Pace Prints, Brooke Alexander, Barbara Gladstone, and Andrew Crispo. Major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Smithsonian American Art Museum added this work to their collections. Between 1976 and 1981, Chase produced the 12 editions of screenprints that have become iconic New York imagery. Created in the medium by Saul Chase working alone in his Greene Street (Soho) studio, these exquisitely crafted prints required between 30-40 screens of incredibly precise hand cut stencil. The screenprint “Goya’ was a “Print of the Decade” selection in “Art News” magazine. The prints available on this website are from the artists personal collection and have been archivally preserved. .

Screenprint, Printed By the Artist “Ramp with a Red Roof” 1981 Limited Edition of 200 Signed, Dated and Numbered

An IRT elevated train entrance ramp is nestled between urban structures. Its roof of blazing red, typical IRT architecture, will shelter passengers as they arrive, but for now all is silent. It’s the unexpected nooks and crannies when perfectly lit, that open our eyes.
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 Editions, Barbara Gladstone and Andrew Crispo sold literally hundreds of prints, with some editions selling out within a year. The screenprint “Goya” was a “Print of the Decade” selection in “Art News” in 1980. 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.
