    5 - The Book is the Final Artwork: Maurice Sendak’s Legacy
    Dec 17 2024

    Maurice Sendak didn’t lay out a specific agenda for his loved ones after he passed away in 2012. Instead, he said, “You’ll know what to do.” And they did. One of those actions was the formation of the Maurice Sendak Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving his legacy and celebrating the art of the picture book. The Foundation also runs the Sendak Fellowship, a residency for illustrators founded in 2010. Executive Director Lynn Caponera and Curator Jonathan Weinberg discuss how Sendak lives on.
