‘The Masters Series: Stefan Sagmeister’ incorporates multiple ‘eras’ of the artist’s long and storied career, with more than three decades of sketchbooks, many posters including ones commissioned by SVA as part of the College’s Subway Poster series, and design work dating back to the late 1980s. The show includes a miniature theatre where Sagmeister’s film will screen on a loop, interactive installations, and even special take-home posters for visitors to the gallery. Augmented Timeline by Interval.ooo, in collaboration with Stefan Sagmeister. Interval studio is led by Yannick Jacquet & Nicolas Boritch.”  — SVA

“It is a true pleasure to receive this award and to see decades of my work exhibited at my very favorite art school in New York City,” Sagmeister says. “Bringing together all of the different facets of my career for people to enjoy and interact with at SVA, where I had the privilege of teaching for many years, is especially meaningful. It’ll be a whole lot of fun.”
