A chess set reimagined with iconic NYC landmarks.  The Brooklyn Bridge, the Chrysler Building and, of course, a pigeon: This black and white chess set celebrates the 100th anniversary of The New Yorker magazine with pieces fashioned as 3D illustrations of NYC landmarks. The New Yorker Magazine Chess Set is illustrated by Christoph Niemann, a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and an artist with work in MoMA’s collection. Pieces include taxi cabs as pawns, pigeons as knights, the Brooklyn Bridge as rooks, the Statue of Liberty as the queen and more. The New Yorker Magazine Chess Set is made from wood and paperboard. The board measures 2.2h x 13.8w x 13.8”d; the tallest piece, the King, is 3”h.
