BETTER, Stefan Sagmeister’s latest collection of works, masterfully fuses design and data to convey an encouraging message for our current times. This insightful exhibition comes at a critical time as the world faces ongoing challenges such as wars, natural disasters, and political turmoil.

Amidst this reality, BETTER presents tangible evidence that, when assessed from a long-term perspective, most aspects of human development have improved. Using relevant data from the UN, the World Bank, and other global and national databases, Sagmeister skillfully transforms numbers into captivating visual representations accessible to the general public.

Incorporating striking data visualizations across eclectic media—vintage paintings, clothing, eyewear, and installations—bridges past and present while telling a hopeful story of progress over time.

Stefan Sagmeister, an acclaimed New York-based designer and two-time Grammy Award winner, has an illustrious career and diverse portfolio spanning commissioned design projects, book publications, films, exhibitions, and public installations. Sagmeister’s work is on display at renowned international institutions including MoMA New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, SFMoMA, and MAK Vienna. His impressive client list includes the Guggenheim Museum, the Rolling Stones, and HBO.

In recent years, Sagmeister has shifted her focus to explore themes of happiness, beauty, and human progress. Reflecting this intentional shift, her latest collection of works features “Beautiful Numbers” to illustrate improvements in human development over time, offering visitors an optimistic and inspiring message that “Now is Better.”
