Maurice Sendak Exhibit and Sale

MAURICE SENDAK (1928-2012) illustrated his first book in 1946 at the age of 18 (published the following year) and went on to become the most important children’s book artist of the 20^th century.  In association with Justin G Schiller and Battledore Ltd and in celebration of this 75^th Anniversary, the Society of Illustrators is sponsoring a Retrospective Exhibition and Sale of original Sendak artwork – more than a hundred pictures: pencil sketches, ink drawings, full watercolors and lithographs – including for the first time on public display original art from Sendak’s first book, also studies for published illustrations, poster designs and operatic stage sets.
