Wild Things Are Happening

The largest retrospective of the work of the beloved American author and illustrator to date. -- Verity Babbs * Artnet * Emotion still pulses through Sendak’s books, as palpable as ever. -- Megan McCrea * The New York Times * It’s a rare treat to see these iconic images in their original form. -- Bianca Schulze * The Children's Book Review * The book rewards readers with a deep dive into Sendak’s work and process...beautifully captures his prolific career. -- AX Mina * Hyperallergic * His blending of a child’s perspective with the visual vocabulary of “grown-up” fine art not only reveals his faith in a child’s ability to deal with complex material, but may also have some bearing on the longevity of his books’ appeal—that is, why we continue to love them even after we have left our childhoods behind. -- Nicole Rudick * Artforum * An exquisite new book...There are so many treasures here it’s hard to know where to begin. -- Julia Vitale * Airmail * A new book collects six decades’ worth of the artist’s work [...] From sketching other kids playing in the street outside his childhood window, to the long, regimented days spent drawing, painting and writing in his Connecticut studio as an adult, Sendak remained dedicated all his life to at least one theme: wandering. -- Lauren Christensen * The New York Times Book Review *
