Steve Keister

Steve Keister was an artist whose active period spanned the latter half of the 1980s, documented specifically between 1983 and 1990. The verifiable core of Keister’s work consists of drawings, with a small number of these graphic pieces preserved in notable institutional holdings.

Keister’s work is represented in major American collections, establishing the artist's standing within 20th-century holdings. The National Gallery of Art holds five documented drawings by Keister. These works include multiple drawings simply titled Untitled, along with one work documented meticulously as Untitled (recto) and Untitled (verso), highlighting the dual surfaces utilized by the artist.

The limited but documented output suggests a focused production period. As part of established museum archives, some of these drawings may enter the public domain over time, allowing for access to high-quality prints and downloadable artwork for researchers and students of graphic art history.
