Description: Brooklyn Pops Up, Signed by Sendak, Sabuda, and 10 Others, Special Edition, 2001. The book, its contents, and slipcase are in Like New condition. This special limited edition copy of Brooklyn Pops Up is #11 of 150. Like all of the first 50 numbered copies, this one is signed by all 12 contributing artists on the back cover. As a bonus, Robert Sabuda also signed his double-page contribution, Brooklyn Museum of Art & Brooklyn Children's Museum. The movable on the front cover is by Sendak who puts himself into the work as the mechanical surprise. A booklet that annotates the history and art of the movable book as a genre is folded into the verso of the front cover. With text by Pamela Thomas and design by Chani Yammer, the book contains 17 pages of full-color pop-ups, fold-outs, and unique paper engineering in addition to Sendak's front cover. It is encased in a matching royal blue slipcase with royal blue ribbon intact. This exceptional and complex compilation of moveables and pop-ups is one of the most delightful pop-up works I've seen in four decades of collecting. All 12 artists and their respective contributions are:> Maurice Sendak: Brooklyn Children> David A. Carter and Tor Lokvig: Brooklyn Brownstones> Bruce Foster: Grand Army Plaza & Brooklyn Public Library> Robert Sabuda: Brooklyn Museum of Art & Brooklyn Chidren's Museum > Ken Wilson-Max and Keith Finch: Brooklyn Botanic Garden> Biruta Akerbergs Hansen: Prospect Park & the Carousel > Iain Smyth: Brooklyn Bridge> Kees Moerbeek and Carla Dus: Flavors of Brooklyn > Chuck Murphy: Coney Island Remembering that this book was published in 2001... to my eye, it's better than any space odyssey ever could be!
