in conjunction with the
Rosenbach Museum & Library
RITTENHOUSE SQUARE
The Maurice Sendak Gallery was inaugurated in April
2003 in conjunction with the Rosenbach Museum & Library's grand
re-opening celebration. The Gallery is dedicated to showcasing
the works and personal collections of longtime trustee and supporter
Maurice Sendak.
One of the best-known creators of contemporary children's books,
Sendak has authored and illustrated over 100 books in a career
spanning nearly seven decades. The themes and illustrations that
characterize Sendak's work have challenged the norms of children's
literature over time and continue to entrance both children and
adults to this day. His innovative technique and honest portrayal
of childhood emotion are celebrated worldwide and have earned him
several prestigious honors, including the Caldecott Book Medal
(1964), the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal (1970),
the National Medal of Arts (1996), a Library of Congress "Living
Legend" medal (2000), and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award
for Literature (2003).
The Rosenbach
Museum Shop is the only authorized source for a
wide variety of books and prints signed by Maurice Sendak, as well
as an assortment of unsigned Sendak books, prints, toys and more.
