Opening Reception: MAURICE SENDAK Exhibition and Sale

Hector Protector. Harper & Row, (c) 1965

October 23, 2018 | 

6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Join us for a look at the exhibit and sale of the work of legendary artist Maurice Sendak’s work. Longtime friends and collectors Justin Schiller and Dennis M V David present a look at some of Sendak’s rarest pieces, including illustrations from William Blake’s Songs of Innocence, a booklet commissioned by his British publishers as a 1967 Christmas keepsake. It is the only remaining manuscript for a published Sendak title still in private hands and is being exhibited for the first time publicly. In addition to these drawings, this exhibition will include more than a hundred watercolors, ink and pencil designs for Mr. Sendak’s various book, theatre and commercial work. All of the works will be available to purchase. 

Refreshments will be served.
