A Century of The New Yorker Covers
About the event
For a century, the cover of The New Yorker has amused, provoked, and captured the spirit of the times. As the magazine's art editor for over three decades, Françoise Mouly has guided that iconic format into new territory, treating covers as comments on current affairs and expanding its range with a roster of world-famous illustrators. In her new book, Mouly presents hundreds of covers charting the magazine's visual evolution decade by decade, spotlighting artists from Saul Steinberg and Roz Chast to Kara Walker and David Hockney.
Hear from Mouly and artists Art Speigelman and Kadir Nelson at this exploration of a century of covers that have reflected—and shaped—the cultural conversation.
