Mixed-Media Pigment Print on Archival Canvas Authorized Estate Edition Image Size: 36” x 28” with additional canvas border Limited Edition of 850 Arabic Numbers 99 Patrons’ Collection 155 Collaborators’ Proofs 5 Hors d’Commerce We have this regular edition work available. Gallery Retail $12,500   Adapted posthumously from the circa 1964 original acrylic on illustration board and wood frame painting by Theodor Seuss Geisel Green Cat in Uleåborg Finland Subway joins an acclaimed group of Secret Cats from Ted Geisel’s extraordinarily personal collection of midnight paintings.  Cats have taken center stage as a recurring theme in many of Ted’s most important and most sought-after artworks.  Like a window into his soul, these works provide a behind-the-scenes look at Seuss the man and the artist.  Some cats appear as bold portraits, while in the case of these works, the mostly hidden cats take supporting roles that cleverly punctuate or decode Dr. Seuss as the creator of these images.  Ted’s Secret Cats are the ultimate expression of his personality, humor, and artistic inventiveness secreted within his most personal creations. Ted Geisel himself said that, because of its draftsmanship, Green Cat in Uleåborg Finland Subway was as close as he came to “serious painting.”  Throughout his career, he was known to draw inspiration from disparate cultural, literary or artistic influences.  In 1964 when Green Cat in Uleåborg Finland Subway was created, "serious painting" included the genre of American modernism.   For BEST PRICE and availability - Call or use Contact Form.
