The New Yorker, America's leading current affairs and culture magazine, is celebrating its 100th anniversary in a special way. On September 22, The New Yorker will officially release its Centennial Spot Art Poster. Priced at $39, it will be available through the New Yorker store.
This poster brings together illustrations from 100 artists, each with their own interpretation of the number '100'. With 100 different perspectives on a single number, the poster visually reimagines the trajectory of The New Yorker's journalism and its legacy of fiction, poetry, humor, and more.
The poster will be 24" x 36" and will be printed on 80 lb. heavyweight paper. It will be shipped rolled and packaged in a kraft tube for safe delivery. The New Yorker thanked the artists who contributed to the poster and said the project was a meaningful way to capture the accomplishments of the past 100 years in visual language.
Since its founding in New York City in 1925, The New Yorker has been a staple of American literary journalism with its sharp eye and original writing. The magazine's iconic "spot art" has been a visual treat for readers, with illustrations filling in between the words. This poster is an extension of that traditional format.
