Maurice Sendak Exhibition
The Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators
This event has ended.
The Society of Illustrators presents a special exhibition 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.
Work will be on display at the Museum of Illustration at the Society of Illustrators from October 23rd - November 3rd, 2018. Admission to the exhibit will be free during special hours:
Monday - Friday: 10:00am - 5pm
Saturday - Sunday: 11:00am - 5:00pm.
