MAURICE SENDAK ORIGINAL WILD THINGS ARTWORK, by matbat on Sept 19, 2011 6:06:36 GMT 1, Hi,
A bit of a stab in the dark but i have the opportunity to purchase some original Maurice Sendak 'where the wild things are' artwork. The sketches include max, the wild things and a signature. The drawings are small but i really like them.
Does anyone have any idea of how much I should be paying for such a thing as I really havent got a clue. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
M

MAURICE SENDAK ORIGINAL WILD THINGS ARTWORK, by nicestjerk on Sept 19, 2011 6:19:42 GMT 1, They're not cheap though it depends on a lot of different things.
Regular sketches 500-2500 or so at auction.
Published illustrations 1000-5000
Wild Things drawings 2000-6000
Published Wild Things drawings from the book $$$
If they're from the book, you've got something really special and would probably run 5k and up, one of the main backdrop paintings sold withing the last few years for 75k.
Would love to see what you've got lined up, check out the main auction house records to see what's comparable, he's accepted into the illustration auctions of all the major houses. Heritage is likely to have the most comparable selection unless you've got pieces from 'where the wild things are' then the bigger names are likely to have something to compare as those would be some of the heaviest hitters in modern illustration.
If you're making any available I'd definitely love to see them at least (though I'm pretty well tapped out)!
