Hooks-Epstein Galleries presents "for the city and for the world," an exhibition of assemblage works by Texas-based artist, John Mark Sager.

After 25 years of dreaming and imagining, Sager presents "for the city and for the world," a new exhibition of altered books inspired by the spirit of cities, architecture, and gratitude. The series features ten sculptural “towers" - each constructed from found books and materials - shaped by Sager’s enduring love for design, structure, and the stories embedded in form.

Rooted in a lifetime of artistic exploration and a deep appreciation of material - steel, paper, glass, wood - the exhibition is as much a personal tribute as it is a personal achievement. The title, translated from the Latin phrase 'Urbi et Orbi', refers to a papal blessing addressed to the entire world.

At the opening reception, a book signing with "The Art of Found Objects: Interviews with Texas Artists" author Robert Craig Bunch will take place. Sager will be in attendance.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through June 21.
