Add to basketPoster. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Elephant Folio 23" tall; 1 pages; 1969 Scholastic Publications. A very early and very uncommon poster for Sendak's Wild Things. Issued by Scholastic to announce their pending (1st paperback) publication of Sendak's most celebrated work. This is a very large poster measuring 27 x 40 inches.… Distributed to teachers and schools, it is safe to assume that most were consumed in the process of display and use. This example may have been unfolded once but remains very nearly as new in its original folded "distribution" condition. A high point in the range of Sendak posters, beacuse of its unique association with the Wild Things book, and the difficulty in finding copies in well preseved condition. Over 20 years handling Sendak material and I have seen no example in better condition, including several I have sold to institutions and collectors. About Fine.

Contact seller4-star sellerSENDAK, Maurice. Poster inscribed ["Where The Wild Things Are and Concert Scenes from Higglety Pigglety Pop!"]. [Minnesota: Ordway Music Theatre, 1985]. Color poster, measuring 24 by 18 inches inches; handsomely framed, entire piece measures 25 by 19 inches. $4000.Lovely poster illustrated by Maurice Sendak advertising the Ameri…can premiere of the Sendak and Knussen opera "Where the Wild Things Are," inscribed below the main illustration for presentation to a neighbor and close friend: "For ElizabethÑhappy Wild Things!ÑMaurice Dec. '85."This poster advertises the American premiere of Oliver Knussen & Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are and Concert Scenes from Higglety Pigglety Pop!" by the Minnesota Opera and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra at the Ordway Music Theatre. Sendak was passionate about both opera and classical music throughout his life and, for many years, dreamt of starting a national children's theater. Though the first attempt with Robert Redford fell through, Sendak did eventually found the Night Kitchen which succeeded and launched many of its actors into stardom. The former owner of this inscribed poster was Maurice Sendak's neighbor, Andrew, from Ridgefield, Connecticut. Sendak bought a home and studio in Ridgefield in 1972 with his longtime partner, Eugene Glynn, and lived there until his death. Andrew first encountered Sendak in 1975 during one of his daily dog walks. (Sendak owned many dogs throughout his life, and they often starred in his books.) Andrew was immediately taken with Sendak, who reminded him of his recently deceased father. One day, Andrew called Sendak at home and asked if he could join him on his walks. Andrew and Sendak thus embarked on a 37-year friendship that also included the Andrew's mother, Betty, as well as Andrew's brother. Sendak went on long walks and hikes with Andrew and his family regularly, discussing general life events, opera, and books. He also invited them into his studio to show off works in progress. Andrew's mother, Betty, was an avid reader and collector and she and Sendak would talk late into the night about books. Sendak offered Betty advice about how to find and authenticate rare children's books, which she used to build her collection. Additionally, he frequently bartered for autographs (i.e. a cake for an inscribed drawing featuring the cake). Sendak often referred to Betty as "Elizabeth" in inscriptions as he felt that "Betty" was too common a name. The many inscribed drawings, along with first editions, signed books, and other valuable items grew into one of the country's premier Sendak collections.About-fine condition. Signed.
