(after) Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel)
Dr. Seuss, Sam I Am - Diptych

About the Item

Adapted posthumously from an early concept drawing and the final illustration for the 1960 book, Green Eggs and Ham. Green Eggs and Ham was born out of a $50 wager between Dr. Seuss and his publisher, Bennett Cerf, who bet he couldn’t write an articulate, entertaining book using only fifty different words. The result was a 62-page volume composed of 49 monosyllabic words and a fiftieth three-syllable word “anywhere.” When Cerf heard Ted’s first reading of the book, he seemed dazed, shaking his head over the clear triumph of Green Eggs and Ham, which had begun as their private joke. Although he conceded the fifty-dollar bet, Ted cheerily “complained” throughout his life that Cerf never paid up. A small price for what ultimately became a national treasure.

    after Dr. Seuss Cat Detective in the Wrong Part of Town Serigraph on canvas 38" x 30" Ready to hang Adapted posthumously from the 1969 original pencil and watercolor on illustration board. Here Dr. Seuss’s abstract expressionist style surrounds us with architectural echoes that are uniquely and stylistically Seuss. With a wink, he transports us to this stunning town and then leaves us wondering exactly where we are. Could this artwork be a Seussian travelogue of the cities Ted adored and which enticed him to explore time and again? Ionic columns, stairways descending into water, a lone palm tree, an adobe hacienda complete with veranda, Eiffel-esque structures, an elevated train, laundry out to dry, peaked chalets, a majestic entry arch...
