In the special double issue of the magazine commemorating its hundredth anniversary, artist Christoph Niemann reflects on his time in New York through a series of illustrations. Now living in Berlin, Niemann's work resonates with the nuances of New York life that go beyond iconic landmarks. He emphasizes that it's the small, everyday detailsâthe routines, the smells, and even the color of the pavementâthat forge a deep connection to a place and evoke feelings of home.
After a while, a place develops a character through the little things: routines; smells; a certain hue of the gray of the pavement.
Now when I come to New York, what makes me happy is not so much visiting a specific site but observing how these little things I recognize make me feel like I'm home.
