Edward Benjamin Koren was born in New York City and attended Horace Mann School and Columbia University, graduating in 1957.[1] He did graduate work in etching and engraving with S. W. Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris, France and received an M.F.A. degree from Pratt Institute. He currently resides with his family in Vermont where he is a member of the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department, formerly serving as captain.
Koren began his cartooning career at Columbia while drawing for the college's humor magazine. After college, he went on to teach art at Brown University.
In May 1962 The New Yorker accepted one of his cartoons. It featured a sloppy-looking writer, cigarette dangling from his lips, sitting before a typewriter. Printed on his sweatshirt is one word: ‘’Shakespeare.’’
Since then The New Yorker has published thousands of his cartoons and illustrations, including dozens of full-color drawings published on the magazine's cover. After several years of continued publishing, he quit his teaching job at Brown University and became full-time to cartooning.
Koren's cartoons, drawings and prints have been widely exhibited in shows across the United States as well as in France, England and Czechoslovakia.
Koren also contributed a Pond Village Pesto recipe for Miss Piggy's 1996 cookbook, In the Kitchen with Miss Piggy.
Columbia University's Wallach Gallery exhibited a retrospective of his work, "The Capricious Line" in 2010. Luise Ross Gallery (New York, NY) exhibited his work concurrently in the exhibition "Parallel Play – Drawings 1979 – 2010".
