Most of the ones I've seen were in the lobby of the Al Hischfeld Theater on West 45th St. It's worth going to a show just to see them.<br /><br />Also--while his work eventually suffered slightly from his age, he was still arguably the best practitioner of his craft for as long as he lived.

Comics publishers, who serve a different market than Hirschfeld's audience, have had great success in recent years with oversized books. There have been oversize collections of Little Nemo in Slumberland and Gasoline Alley Sunday pages. In addition, IDW has an entire line of books shot from original artwork and printed the same size of the originals. I have two collections of Will Eisner's work from them that are roughly 16 x 24 inches. Perhaps Taschen or some other art publisher would be interested.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-64450713105383009452015-07-30T10:46:20.618-04:002015-07-30T10:46:20.618-04:00Thanks for the insightful take on my exhibition an...Thanks for the insightful take on my exhibition and book. I agree that seeing the drawings is a very different 9and very rewarding) experience than seeing the reproductions. the line is so much more expressive. As for a book of drawings that are the same size as the originals, I am not sure any publisher is ready to put a book that would essentially be more than 20 x 30 inches.<br /><br />I encourage folks to get the book, see the show, and to see more of his work, visit www.alhirschfeldfoundation.org where you can look up any work by performer, production, publication, date or genre.David Leopoldhttp://alhirschfeldfoundation.orgnoreply@blogger.com
