Stefan Sagmeister's newest project encourages long-term thinking
and reminds us that many things in the world are improving
Initially conceived in 2020 as the world entered pandemic lockdown,
Stefan Sagmeister has created a book that looks at the state of the
world today, illuminating, through collected data, how far we've
come, and encouraging us to think about where we can go from here.
Statistics are vividly brought to life, as numbers are transformed
into graphs, inlaid into nineteenth-century paintings, embroidered
canvases, lenticular prints, and hand-painted water glasses. The
book includes a foreword from psychologist and leading authority on
language and the mind, Steven Pinker; a featured essay by graphic
designer and historian Steven Heller; and a conversation between
Sagmeister and Hans Ulrich Obrist, curator and artistic director of
Serpentine Galleries in London and will appeal to all visually
minded readers, providing a positive reaction to the tumultuous
news cycle of recent years. Published in softcover with flaps Now
is Better is contained within a die-cut slipcase and accompanied by
a lenticular print designed by Sagmeister. Now is Better is an
intriguing and thoughtful visual meditation on our daily lives.
