At The New Yorker, the cover selection process is an art form in itself, led by art editor Françoise Mouly and editor David Remnick. Each week, Mouly presents cover options encapsulating various cultural moments, relying on artists' insights rather than feature stories. This method highlights the magazine’s dedication to original artistic expression amidst a sea of mass-produced visuals. The upcoming centennial issue celebrates this visual legacy, coinciding with an exhibition showcasing original artwork from esteemed artists, reinforcing the distinctive role of the magazine in contemporary visual culture.
The New Yorker cover stands as one of the last bastions of wordless storytelling in our culture, a place where an artist's singular vision can still speak directly to readers.
Each week, longtime art editor Françoise Mouly presents editor David Remnick a range of options—and Remnick chooses the one that feels most apt for the cultural moment.
