After closing the gallery Jeffrey Deitch became the director of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. In addition to presenting more than 250 artist projects during the fifteen years of its existence it created a remarkable community of artists, musicians and other creative talents. Deitch is now working on bringing his influential Art in the Streets exhibition to New York.   Stefan Sagmeister is a New York-based graphic designer and typographer.

Deitch Projects created a new model redefining what an art gallery could be. He is co-founder of Sagmeister & Walsh, a design firm that creates identities, commercials, websites, apps, films, books and objects.

It is very rewarding to see that we created not just a community, but an art family.” There is no question that this goal was achieved, and LIVE THE ART is a detailed look back on every event created by Deitch and shared by this “family” of artists and art lovers for fifteen incredible years.. This extraordinary three-dimensional package of LIVE THE ART, is a suitable homage to Jeffrey Deitch’s legendary stature and influence as an art dealer and producer of memorable installations and art happenings that robustly transcended the idea of a mere “exhibition.” More than four years in the making, and divided into chapters devoted to each year between 1996 and 2010, LIVE THE ART explores in detail the astonishing shows and performances the visionary Deitch mounted in a one-story former garage on Grand Street in Soho that would be the primary home of Deitch Projects for fifteen years. Deitch illuminates the founding concept by stating, “Deitch Projects was not meant to be an art gallery. We would not operate as a gallery but would become a commercial version of the ‘project room’ that the Museum of Modern Art and a number of other American Museums had established in the ‘70s and ‘80s.”  Deitch’s original guidelines were simple: his intention was to invite artists who had not yet had a solo exhibition to

You only have to flip through the pages to see that money was a small part of what made Deitch Projects so special. “…an in-depth, curiously illustrated history…The book is, among other things, a striking object…Live the Art is itself an exercise in nostalgia for a bygone New York.” –The New York Times“This is the art book of the year, a vast catalog of the artists and events sponsored by Jeffrey Deitch in the abandoned garage in SoHo that became Deitch Projects from 1996-2010, when the dealer decamped to run the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The cover is a plastic dinner plate; inside, there are endless color photos of the old gallery space alive with everything from beaded kitchens (artist Liza Lou) to Debbie Harry and Fab 5 Freddy "Recapturing the Rapture." Each chapter is a year of the gallery's art. The essential thing was to be a model for arts entrepreneurs around the world.” –The Star Ledger “Live the Art

Starting with few connections,and gaining recognition as a financial innovator as well as a keen eyed private dealer, Deitch has been at the forefront of many new art trends, supported and advanced the work of many young artists who have become famous and well noted. A excellent addition to my art library: the book itself is an artwork. This volume is a peek into his special projects that will allow the reader to delve into what was and is cutting edge. Big book!. Comprehensive, interesting and well-documented.. His interests encompass performance works as well as actual works on paper or sculpture. A great book for those with an open mind and a sincere interest in contemporary art in all its, sometimes, challenging glory.. Live the Art is a fantastic insight into the evolution of Jeff Deitch's artistic sensibility
