Saul Bass worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Saul Bass as American graphic designer and filmmaker (1920–1996).
Saul Bass was born at The Bronx in 1920. His recorded nationality is United States. He trained at Brooklyn College and James Monroe High School.
Twentieth-century art was international, heavily theorised and increasingly conceptual, with the market growing alongside it.
He worked as graphic designer, film director and designer.
An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
Recognition followed: AIGA Medal.
That the work was made in United States shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Saul Bass died in 1996, aged 76. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
