Harvey Galleries presents The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection proudly supported by Art Evolution and d'Arenberg.
For over 60 years, Dr. Seuss's illustrations have brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. His artistic talent went far beyond the printed page and yet, to this day, his Secret Art Collection is virtually unknown to the general public. Throughout his lifetime, Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) created paintings and sculpture, which he secreted away at the Dr. Seuss Estate.
Featuring known and unknown works from the life of Theodor Seuss Geisel. A fascinating archive that reveals the secret art and imaginative creations of the world's most beloved children's author. Works from Dr. Seuss's best-known children's books, The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, and perhaps the wackiest and most wonderful elements of the collection are Dr. Seuss's three-dimensional "Unorthodox Taxidermy" sculptures.
Artworks will be on display and available for acquisition.
