Let the Wild Rumpus Start! Works from Maurice Sendak's Masterpieces Anchor Heritage's Illustration Art Auction
Iconic Mary May 2 event also offers significant works by JC Leyendecker, Dean Cornwell, Charles Addams and more
For generations, the Caldecott Medal-winning Where the Wild Things Are has affirmed the wonder and loneliness inherent in the childhood experience and the singularity of Maurice Sendak's vision. Heritage Auctions celebrates the legacy of author and illustrator Sendak's iconic characters from that literary classic with an auction of 28 works highlighting the adventures of Max and the Wild Things and other Sendak favorites in its May 2 Illustration Art Signature® Auction.
Mounted upon the release of the 2008 Wild Things film adaptation by Spike Jonze, the Sendak in Soho show at New York's AFA Gallery was the first time this fantastic grouping of costume and set designs, poster art and the author's only bronze sculpture was unveiled to the public. An immense success, the exhibition's works went on to be featured in the traveling show Maurice Sendak: 50 Years, 50 Works, 50 Reasons.
Opening at Bowers Museum of Cultural Art in Santa Ana, California, the show traveled to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago and the Fort Worth Public Library among other institutions. Now Heritage offers a rare opportunity to own the featured artworks illustrating Sendak's magic with the capsule grouping 50 Years of Sendak: The Museum Tour Collection offered within the larger auction.

Bidding Tutorial

Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction.
Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed. |
Buyer's premium
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auctions is 25% on the first $1,000,000 (minimum $49), 20% of any amount between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, and 15% of any amount over $5,000,000 per lot.. |
 |
Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction.
Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session. |
