Stefan Sagmeister, the “grand master of graphic design,” embarked on intensive research into personal happiness, omitting no possible means in the process. Meditation, cognitive therapy, mood-altering drugs—Sagmeister tested everything that promised happiness on his own body and then translated his experiments into the exhibition The Happy Show, which has now arrived in Vienna after previously being on display in North America and Paris. From 28 October 2015 to 28 March 2016, STEFAN SAGMEISTER: The Happy Show will pervade the MAK and, with the aid of multimedia, it will be possible for visitors to participate in Stefan Sagmeister’s captivating search for happiness. For more than ten years, the charismatic graphic designer concentrated on happiness and the lightness of being. Sagmeister (born in 1962 in Bregenz, Austria, lives and works in New York), who closes his New York studio every seven years for some time out, planned his Happy Show during his last sabbatical in 2009. With videos, prints, infographics, and sculptures, the inspiring show documents Sagmeister’s intensive experiments on himself and also involves visitors in his happiness research with in- teractive installations, some of which were made especially for the exhibition.

Sagmeister & Walsh Provide the Creative Stimulus for the Zumtobel
Press information Sagmeister & Walsh provide the creative stimulus for the Zumtobel Group artistic annual report The New York design studio Sagmeister & Walsh has designed the 27th edition of the artistic Zumtobel Group annual report. While the publications from the last few years were mainly realised in cooperation with select partners from architecture and art, this latest version draws inspiration from the world of graphic design. Dornbirn, 23. August 2018 – The 2017/2018 artistic annual report from the Zumtobel Group brilliantly captures the interplay between light and shadow by using a series of typographical phrases. The art book has been put together by multidisciplinary graphic designer Jessica Walsh from the renowned Sagmeister & Walsh studio. The publication was presented for the first time at the Zumtobel Group`s Annual General Meeting on 27. July 2018. “The young designer Jessica Walsh caught our eye with her visual presentations on social networks and really inspired us with her creativity. We could sense a young and modern dynamic in her work, which we then wanted to incorporate into the company. We are delighted that we were able to convince her to design our art book and we would like to thank Jessica and her team for their intensive work with the subject light. The result is a unique interpretation from the world of graphic design that also expresses the creative philosophy of Jessica Walsh, who tries to touch people emotionally with her work and make them think in a different way,” explained Karin Zumtobel, Head of Culture & Arts, Zumtobel Group. Typographical phrases play with light and shadow A collection of 20 typographical and socially critical A4 artistic cards forms the centrepiece of the latest annual report.

Thomas Erben Gallery Stefan Sagmeister Beautiful Numbers April, 10 - May 15, 2021 Installation view, west wall Beautiful Numbers, Sagmeister’s new body of work, was conceived in 2020 as the daily lived experience – and short term media – reflected a world seemingly out of control, with democracy in peril, ubiquitous conflicts and an overall outlook of doom. Instead of focusing on attention catching daily headlines, the long term perspective – the only way making sense – shows actual improvement: there is less war, hunger and illiteracy; fewer people die in natural disasters, more people live in democracies, an increased number of women serve on Parliaments and life expectancy has increased. Sagmeister has visualized data collected over 100 years and transformed these graphs into inlaid 19th Century genre paintings, embroidered canvases, lenticular prints and hand painted water glasses – all of which will be for the first time on display at the gallery.

Finding Female Recognition: A Career Comparison of Female and Male Graphic Designers By Jaclyn Larsen Advisor: Sheri Young Date: December 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the University Honors Scholar designation at Johnson & Wales University Larsen 2 Abstract It is common among many career paths that men achieve higher status jobs as compared to women. However, the fight for women’s rights has been effective for many years and there has been a lot of progress made. Despite this progress, this gap still exists. My real interest is in what differentiates these men from women in the same careers. Graphic design is a gender- inclusive career that is not stereotyped towards one gender or another. Although it has been around since the early 1920s, it is still a relatively modern concept due to the new technologies that have changed the industry so greatly.

Die meisten von uns haben sich mit Karrierezielen, Beziehungen und mit dem eigenen Glück auseinandergesetzt. Aber wie viele von uns haben sich wirklich die Zeit genommen zu erforschen, was uns glücklich macht? Kann man Glück gestalten? Der österreichische Designer Stefan Sagmeister hat es gut. Er lebt in seiner Traumstadt New York und gestaltet sehr erfolgreich Album-Cover für die Rolling Stones, Jay-Z und die Talking Heads. Aber in seinem Kopf geistert die Frage herum, ob das wirklich alles ist. Er entschließt sich dazu, ein Design-Projekt aus sich selbst zu machen. Kann er seine Persönlichkeit umgestalten und so ein besserer Mensch werden? Kann er durch Übung lernen, glücklich zu sein? Doch in den Selbstversuch schleicht sich sein Leben ein und bringt alles durcheinander: Das Netz aus Kunst, Sex, Liebe und Tod scheint undurchdringbar. Seine Selbst-Gestaltung und schmerzvolle Erfahrungen führen ihn auf eine Reise, die ihn näher zu sich selbst bringt, als jemals geplant. HINTERGRUND Als Experte in Sachen Freizeit hat Stefan Sagmeister sich einen Namen gemacht. Alle sieben Jahre schließt er für zwölf Monate sein Studio für ein Sabbatjahr und widmet sich in dieser Zeit Projekten, die außerhalb seines üblichen Dienstleistungsgeschäfts laufen.
