Since its launch in 1925, The New Yorker has cornered the market on literary cosmopolitanism through its irreverent tone, visual style, and ability to draw the talents of unparalleled writers and artists. In this major new exhibition, The New York Public Library will bring to life the people, stories, and ideas that made The New Yorker what it was—and still is today. Drawing primarily from the Library’s rich collections, the exhibition will survey a hundred years of life at the magazine, featuring typewriters used by editor William Shawn and writer Lillian Ross; manuscripts and drafts by celebrated authors, from Hannah Arendt to Sapphire; correspondence between New Yorker editors and J. D. Salinger, Annie Proulx, and Vladimir Nabokov; and original art by Charles Addams and Kara Walker. Learn More.
