Gretchen Dow Simpson’s New York Times Obit
The New York Times has published an obit for Gretchen Dow Simpson.
Interesting how the Times’s reporter, Alex Williams closed it out:
“Her long run at The New Yorker ended in 1993, the year after Tina Brown, the swashbuckling former editor of Vanity Fair, took over and ushered in a series of sweeping changes, including more topical and gag covers in place of the traditional stately ones that had served as artworks in their own right.
As Ms. Simpson later recalled, Ms. Brown “did buy one painting to be used as a cover, but only because it reminded her of her own property in the Hamptons.”
