Author Description

This extravagant book presents 330 of Tomi Ungerer's illustrations, paintings and collages, many of them previously unpublished. When Ungerer moved from the Alsace to New York in the mid-1950s and began working as a graphic designer and illustrator, a crazy new world opened itself up to him, which the gifted artist transformed into what are perhaps the most remarkable and powerful works of his career--expressive and universal pictures that present the land of opportunity in an inimitable manner. Tomi Ungerer's work is record-breaking. Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung Co-published with Diogenes, Zurich. Exhibitions: Olaf Gulbransson Museum, Tegernsee, to 27 January 2019 Tomi Ungerer Museum, Strasbourg, 6 November 2018 to 17 March 2
