Edward Koren at "Drawn From The New Yorker: A Centennial Celebration"

The retrospective now on view at the Society of Illustrators in honor of The New Yorker's centenary includes two original pieces by Edward Koren loaned by the artist's family. Both dating from Koren's heyday in the 1970s, there is one cartoon and one magazine cover.

"We got a complaint that his steak au poivre was dry and overcooked, his chicken vinaigrette
was prepared poorly in a sticky sweet-and-sour onion sauce that bordered on the inedible, and
his leaf-spinach-with-mushroom salad was crudely seasoned."
