Lot 159 | A Literary Feast
Estimate value
$ 15 000 – 25 000
152 x 94mm image size on larger sheet, matted and framed.
A fabulous Sendak drawing, likely made for the "Reading is Fundamental" campaign. Bernard ("the same "Wild Thing" who appears on the cover of Sendak's famous book) prepares to feast on a stack of books. The titles reflect some of Sendak's own favorite children's books: the spines read "Randolph Caldecott," "Grimm," The Pirate Twins," and, of course, "Where the Wild Things Are."
