Max has arrived! Maurice Sendak's original two-page illustration of Max in his sailboat arriving at the island of the Wild Things is by far the most important work of this artist ever to appear at auction. This is first illustration Sendak made for Where the Wild Things Are (1963) and the first ever to be sold. The remaining illustrations are unlikely ever to be released to the market.

Prior to the sale, online bidders brought the hammer price up to $130,000, or $162,500 with the buyer's premium. The most spirited bidding would have to wait for the live auction.
