The 100th Anniversary Issue of The New Yorker came out last week, and I couldn’t be more proud of the collaborative effort behind this design under the wonderful art direction of @supriyakalidas . This year also marks my 10th anniversary as Creative Director. It’s an honor to work with such a stellar team of designers, photo editors, art directors, and product designers.
Shout out to @joannamilter@katzandrew and the entire photo team for amazing photography, and @supriyakalidas@sunshtine steph4rent @v.ctorguan for superb design.

I’m immensely proud that one of the two Pulitzers won by The New Yorker yesterday went to the illustrator Medar de la Cruz @mdlcomics for “The Diary of a Rikers Island Library Worker.” De la Cruz’s evocative drawings depict his deliveries of books to inmates, offering the public a rare glimpse inside Rikers, where cameras and phones are banned and inmates are subject to conditions that have been harshly criticized by legal and human-rights organizations. “I’m always moved by the sense of gratitude and warmth that some people express when we’re able to get them the books that they asked for,” de la Cruz writes.
Congratulations to @mdlcomics and to our Digital Design Director Aviva Michaelov @aviva.tny for championing this kind of work at The New Yorker, and to the entire TNY Art Department!
Illustrator Nicholas Blechman (@nblechman ) brings #VerenaLoewensberg’s beloved City-Discount record store back to life in the latest issue of @ursulamagazine .
Though better known as a painter, Loewensberg enjoyed a parallel career running City-Discount in Zurich’s Old Town, with the shop quietly becoming legendary among aficionados of jazz and avant-garde music. But though it remained a busy cultural crossroads in Zurich for years, no photos of its interior or exterior have survived, with only a scattering of objects and ephemera—and now, Blechman’s illustrations—giving a sense of its legacy.
🔗 Explore City-Discount at @hauserwirth ’s link in bio or in print in Ursula Issue 10, out now.
📍 ‘Verena Loewensberg. Kind of Blue’ is on view at our New York, 69th Street gallery until 27 April.
