拍品专文

Exuberant, original artwork for the exhibition poster 'Sendak in Philadelphia,' featuring the three beloved characters from Where the Wild Things Are. The Wild Thing Moishe is depicted en grisaille atop the dome of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. He is in colonial garb, holding a sheaf of papers in one hand and a red banner in the other. In the background are two other colonial buildings, and atop their roofs sit Max and the Wild Thing Bernard, holding a blue banner each. All three are smiling and the whole is set against a dramatic midnight blue, starry sky with full moon. For the printed poster, the three banners were lettered with the exhibition title and details. 'Sendak in Philadelphia' opened on April 29, 1995 at both the Rosenbach Museum and Library and the Please Touch Museum, two historic Philadelphia institutions.
