Illustrator by day, surrealist by night, Dr. Seuss created a body of irrepressible work that redefines this American icon as an iconographic American artist. Works in the Secret Art and Archive Collection are curated from significant archives including the Dr. Seuss Estate, the Dr. Seuss Archives at the Mandeville Special Collections Library, University of California ─ San Diego, the Hood Museum of Art, and select public and private collections. Dating back to the 1995 book by the same name, The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss often shows a side of the artist that most readers, familiar with him through his classic children’s books, have never seen. These “Midnight Paintings,” along with significant drawings and sculpture, were often created by Dr. Seuss at night for his own personal enjoyment and were rarely, if ever, exhibited during his lifetime. The original paintings and sculpture, which remain in their respective collections, are considered priceless and will not be made available for sale. The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection presents the exclusive authorized limited editions reproduced from Theodor Seuss Geisel’s original paintings, drawings, and sculpture.
THE SECRET ART SCULPTURE COLLECTION
This groundbreaking collection began with the introduction of The Indistinct Cat sculpture, launched on the eve of the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection’s 25th Anniversary, then joined by the iconic Joseph Katz… and now completed with Artist Worrying.
Each work touches upon key aspects of navigating our lives… Together for the first time, the premiere edition of The Secret Art Sculpture Collection offers a developing philosophy of navigation, identity, fellowship, and courage – pivotal moments in Ted’s artistic arc that are now crystallized for collectors in enduring form… with more chapters still to come.
