TWENTY-FIVE YEARS THROUGH THE WRONG END OF THE TELESCOPE
Ted Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, spent his life pushing open the doors of conventional thought, ushering in new directions and ideas, and always looking “through the wrong end of the telescope.”
His wife, Audrey, continued that vision as she guided Ted’s legacy across the nearly 30 years following his passing. Such stewardship included the formation of The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection, allowing the world its first chance to see images Ted had made privately yet never shared with the general public.
"Ted knew he would leave big footprints after he was gone , bu the couldn’t possibly have known the astounding impact his legacy would have on the worlds of art, literature,pop, and high culture." - Audrey Geisel
The works included in this exhibition are not only an inspired tribute to Ted and Audrey’s vision, but to those of us who also believe life is better when viewed through the wrong end of the telescope.
In homage to this unique perspective, select works in this exhibition include rare examples counter-signed by Audrey Geisel.
“I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss
