Maurice Sendak
June 10, 1928 – May 8, 2012

Illustrator and Author of Children’s Books
Sendak stirred souls with books that portray the boundless light and deepest darkness of our childhood fantasies.

Sendak lived and worked in a duplex townhouse apartment at 29 West 9th Street in the 1960s. It was there that he wrote and illustrated the beloved Where The Wild Things Are.
