The third edition of Landmarks’ handbook, Landmarks: 2008-2025, has received an award from Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) as part of their 62nd American Graphic Design Awards. The “best-of-year” accolade recognizes excellence in graphic, print, and digital design among designers, agencies, institutions, and creative professionals.
The handbook was selected from more than 6,000 entries, along with other winning submissions that ranked in the top 10% of all applications. The projects were chosen on the strength of their design quality, execution, impact, and ability to communicate visually with clarity, creativity, and purpose.
Edited by Andrée Bober, Landmarks’ founding director and curator, the publication showcases two decades of UT’s public art collection, representing nearly fifty works of modern and contemporary art. The edition features critical essays by Kathleen Brady Stimpert, Landmarks’ deputy director, and Rainey Knudson, arts writer and founder of Glasstire, an online journal of visual art in Texas. With more than 100 full color photographs and a fold-out map, Landmarks: 2008–2025 highlights new acquisitions by artists Simone Leigh, Jennifer Steinkamp, Eamon Ore-Giron and others. It invites readers to experience — or rediscover — the public art collection that activates and enriches the Forty Acres.
Free digital downloads of the publication are available in English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese. Print editions may also be purchased through University of Texas Press. The publication and free digital distribution were made possible through the generosity of Sara Carter and the Still Water Foundation.
