The New Yorker at 100 March 9, 2025

 We are so very lucky to have two, count ‘em, two exhibits showcasing the 100th year of the New Yorker magazine. The New York Public Library’s main branch exhibit which we saw last week is on thru April of 2026 so there is no rush to check it out but today’s photo montage features the free exhibit at the L’Alliance Gallery and is only on thru March 30, 2025. This exhibit features their cover art only. There are controversial covers, political covers, funny covers and a wall of rejected covers. I found the original art next to the actual cover to be the most fascinating part of the exhibit. On a few of todays photos you can see the original art and the cover inserted into the photo. Full disclosure, I have been a New Yorker subscriber for many years. Sometimes two months of issues piles up on my coffee table. I made a New Year’s resolution to finish each issue the week it arrives. So far I have failed each week. The beauty of the New Yorker is that their brilliant writing has a shelf life and you can pick up a magazine months later and still enjoy reading it.
