We are lucky New Yorkers as we now have another Museum dedicating an exhibition to the celebration of the New Yorker magazine’s 100th anniversary. The AKC Museum of the Dog is now exhibiting a private collection of 44 covers of The New Yorker related to dogs. The collection spans nearly the entire run of the magazine with covers featuring the work of New Yorker notables such as Peter Arno, James Thurber, Charles Addams, and Mark Ulriksen.The exhibition includes commentary on the specific covers with additional background material supplied by the staff and archives of The New Yorker. In addition to the role of dogs in the City, other themes include dog shows, grooming, country life and sports. There is also be a section of covers produced around the Westminster Kennel Club’s annual dog show. This is a fun exhibit (as is the whole museum) and will be running thru December 7th. Woof!

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.
