Over at the Kenneth Tyler’s printmakers, they have obtained a super rare collection of initial drawings of the late Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are. The inventory of rare proofs, collected here as the project’s intaglio ghosts, was signed in 2002, and the prints divided three-ways between Sendak, to the National Gallery of Australia’s Kenneth Tyler Print Collection, and to Tyler’s own personal collection. Sendak went on to hand-watercolor some of the black-and-white intaglios, including Wild Thing and Ida.
