Oh, te Places You’l Go! 25

th Anniversary Exhibition

The Capstone of Dr. Seuss’s Enduring Legacy Comes to Exclusive Collections Gallery in Breckenridge and Beverly Hills

T

wenty-five years have passed since Dr. Seuss’s last book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! was published in 1990. In honor of this milestone, a special exhibition has been mounted to artistically highlight the scores of places and eras Dr. Seuss has taken us with his incomparable collection of artwork. Throughout a lifelong adventure into “logical insanity,” Theodore Geisel transported viewers through an astonishing visual journey they never dreamed possible.

In his final book, Ted gathered his favorite unpublished sketches, pinned them up on the cork walls of his studio, and then set about finding a way to make them connect. The result was the most powerful graphic work he had done in many years.

To celebrate the milestone and his great body of work, an

exclusive Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Portfolio was unveiled to the public at the San Diego History Center Museum in April 2015. This was significant as the Geisel’s resided in San Diego, Calif., where Mrs. Audrey Geisel lives to this day in the city of La Jolla. Though the 25th anniversary of his last book was held last year in 2015, the show’s immense popularity and demand has it booked through 2016 at the new EC Gallery in Breckenridge, Colorado from January 15 through January 31, 2016.

Keeping the theme of February being the month of love, the Oh, the Places You’ll Go! show will then move to EC Gallery Beverly
