Christoph Niemann’s “Market Shift” | The New Yorker

For the quilt of the October 27, 2025, Cash Concern, the artist Christoph Niemann got down to visualize how the preposterously wealthy pay a disproportionately small share of taxes. In dialog, Niemann expressed one other grievance, one born out of his purely skilled standpoint as an artist: “What’s up with Silicon Valley’s infantile sneaker-and-T-shirt look? They’re (principally) grown males with infinite sources. Can’t they costume accordingly?” he stated. “Till they provide you with a contemporary, stereotypical billionaire fashion, I’ll simply persist with the ‘high hat, pin-striped pants, and spats-on-shoes’ outfit in my drawings.”
