New Work
In the design world, Sagmeister is as close to the equivalent
of a rock star as anyone. In this presentation, however,
there won't be any chickens with their heads cut off
or any of that scratched-into-skin typography. Instead,
Stefan offers a peek at what his studio has been up
to recently. Considering his new declared ultimate goal
"to touch somebody's heart with design", Stefan's
presentation may uplift as much as inspire.
Sagmeister, a native of Austria, received his MFA in
graphic design from the University of Applied Arts in
Vienna and, as a Fulbright Scholar, a master's degree
from Pratt Institute in New York. He formed the New
York based Sagmeister Inc. in 1993 and has since designed
graphics and packaging for the Rolling Stones, David
Byrne, Lou Reed, Aerosmith and Pat Metheny. His work
has been nominated four times for the Grammies and has
won most international design awards. In 2001 a monograph
about his work titled Sagmeister, Made you Look
was published by Booth-Clibborn editions.
