In 2002 Yale's Beinecke Library organized an exhibition of Ruth and John Stephan's work, with an emphasis on *The Tiger's Eye*. Reviewing the exhibition and accompanying catalog for *The New York Times*, Roberta Smith wrote: "the magazine, which took its title from William Blake, was one of the few that 'took visual art as seriously as literature.' It was also an eccentric mom-and-pop operation, put together with love, sophistication and a fair amount of attitude, as well as Ruth's money. (Her family owned Walgreen's).'" A complete run of this important and nicely-produced mid-Century journal.
