Christoph Niemann’s “The Bridge”

“The real beauty of the Brooklyn Bridge can only be experienced in motion,” the artist Christoph Niemann said, about his cover for the June 30, 2025, issue. Niemann’s celebration of the structure is a kaleidoscopic composition that plays with its cathedral-like thick towers and its thin mesh of wires. “My recommendation is a very early morning run. New York City doesn’t get much better,” he added.
