Blake in the Marketplace, 2025

Abstract

The 2025 Blake market may be considered in quantity and diversity of works not far behind what Robert N. Essick has previously described as the “legendary” sale of W. Graham Robertson’s collection in 1949 and the Frank Rinder sale in November 1993. One blockbuster event dominated the 2025 market: the multi-day sale of drawings, paintings, and prints from Maurice Sendak’s collection.
