Sagmeister’s City Greeting Card

“My grandfather was educated in sign painting and I grew up with many of his pieces of wisdom around the house, traditional calligraphy carefully applied in gold leaf on painstakingly carved wooden panels.

One of his panels, still hanging in our hallway in Austria, reads:

This house is mine, and it isn’t mine

the second guy won’t own it either,

They will carry out the third one too,

so tell me, my friend, whose house is it?

I am just following this tradition with “Trying to look good limits my life”. The title of this work (and its content) is among the few things I have learned in my life so far (some of the others are: Having guts always works out for me and Everything I do always comes back to me).

Broken up into 5 parts Trying/to look/good/limits/my life and displayed in sequence as typographic billboards, they work like a sentimental greeting card left in a park north of Paris.”
