“To the Dollar — As we knew it!”
An exhibition of cartoons for The New Yorker is on view at the Morgan Library, including eighty original drawings from cartoonists Ed Arno, George Booth, Roz Chast, Lee Lorenz and many others.
The exhibition is complimented by a series of talks and movies — offering a humorous way to look at money, which is a novel and welcome idea today.
The exhibition runs through May 24, 2009.
The Morgan Library is located at 225 Madison Avenue at 36th Street with hours from Tuesday through Thursday, 10:30 ~ 5:00 pm, Friday 10:30 am to 9:00 pm, Saturday 10am to 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6pm.
Lectures include:
“The Past, Present, and Future of Cartooning at The New Yorker Magazine”

“Three Paths to The New Yorker: Roz Chast, Arnie Levin, and David Sipress”
Three New Yorker cartoonists discuss their backgrounds, schooling, and career experiences in a lively roundtable moderated by fellow cartoonist and retired art editor Lee Lorenz.
Wednesday, March 18, 6:30 PM
“At the Pearly Gates: Judgment, Heaven, and Hell in The New Yorker”
Walter Cahn
In a richly illustrated lecture, Walter Cahn, Carnegie Professor of the History of Art (emeritus), Yale University, explores the imagery and views of the hereafter in our own time. Largely a product of the Middle Ages, these depictions surprisingly share the pages of The New Yorker with more familiar satires on the foibles of doctors, lawyers, or twenty-somethings, among other hilarious subjects. Presented in cooperation with the International Center of Medieval Art.
