Born Elaine Firstenberg, the pioneering American painter, designer and collector Elaine Lustig Cohen (1927-2016) has been described as ‘the quintessential Modernist.’ Her influential architectural signage, typefaces, book covers, and graphic design work helped to define the visual canon of the 1950s and 1960s.

Cohen’s work has been offered at auction multiple times, the record price being 25,312 USD for Black Pilaster V sold at Bonhams, New York in 2020.
