The New Yorker Cover - Dec 10, 2012

This cover for the December 10, 2012, issue of The New Yorker, titled "Studio," is a posthumous tribute to the magazine's legendary artist, Saul Steinberg. The image is a photograph by Martin Schoeller of a tableau featuring a curated collection of Steinberg's actual works. The arrangement includes an open sketchbook, various drawings, sculpted objects made of wood, and fabricated artist's tools, all laid out on a wooden surface as if in the artist's own studio.

Artistic Insight

"Studio" is a brilliant, multi-layered homage that captures the very essence of Saul Steinberg's artistic philosophy. The cover is a meta-artwork that plays with Steinberg's favorite theme: the slippery boundary between reality and illusion. We are looking at a photograph (a representation) of physical objects, which are themselves art (representations). This clever layering of mediums was a hallmark of Steinberg's own work, where he would often arrange his drawings and sculptures into tableaus to be photographed. The cover serves as a miniature exhibition, celebrating not just his iconic style but also his intellectual curiosity about the nature of art itself. It is a loving look into the mind and method of a master.
