Alfred Steiner

Alfred Steiner, a Cincinnati native, earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (both 1995) at Miami University, before attending Harvard Law School where he received his Juris Doctor in 1998. He has lived and worked in New York City since 2000 where he practices copyright and trademark law and writes and lectures on the intersection of law and art. As a visual artist, Steiner has exhibited in group shows at galleries including The New School (New York, NY), The Drawing Center (New York, NY), Guerrero Gallery (San Francisco, CA), Gildar Gallery (Denver, CO), and in solo shows at Gallery Poulsen (Copenhagen, Denmark), 101/ Exhibit (Los Angeles, CA), and Joshua Liner Gallery (New York, NY). His work, Into the Void (2015), is part of a larger body of work in which Steiner uses graphically simplified forms (like logos and cartoon characters) as if they were Rorschach blots, freely associating objects to replace the underlying parts of each form.
