FROM THE CURATOR
“Beautiful Numbers,” Stefan Sagmeister’s latest collection of works, masterfully merges design and data to convey an uplifting message for our current times.
This insightful exhibition arrives at a critical juncture as the world faces ongoing challenges, including the aftermath of an unprecedented global pandemic, natural disasters, and political turmoil. Amid this reality, “Beautiful Numbers” presents tangible evidence that, when assessed from a long-term perspective, most aspects of human development have improved.
Utilizing relevant data from the UN, World Bank, and other global and national databases, Sagmeister artfully transforms numbers into captivating visual representations accessible to the wider public. The embedding of the striking “data visualizations” onto eclectic mediums — antique paintings, clothing, sculptural objects, and installations — bridges the past and present, while telling a hopeful story of progress over time.
Stefan Sagmeister, acclaimed New York-based designer and two-time Grammy award recipient, boasts an illustrious career and a diverse portfolio spanning commissioned design projects, book publications, films, exhibitions, and public installations. Sagmeister’s work is featured in eminent international institutions such as MoMA New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, SFMoMA, and MAK Vienna; his impressive roster of clients includes the Gughenheim Museum, the Rolling Stones, and HBO. In recent years, Sagmeister has shifted focus to explore themes of happiness, beauty, and human progress.
Reflecting this intentional shift, his latest collection of works showcases “Beautiful Numbers” to illustrate improvements in human development over time, offering visitors an optimistic and inspiring message that “Now is Better.”
