The Lost Sculptures of Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss embarked on an ingenious project in the early 1930s as he evolved from two-dimensional artworks to three-dimensional sculptures. What was most unusual for these mixed-media sculptures was the use of real animal parts including beaks, antlers and horns from deceased Forest Park Zoo animals where Seuss’s father was superintendent. Unorthodox Collection of Taxidermy was born in a cramped New York apartment and included a menagerie of inventive creatures with names like the “Two Horned Drouberhannis,” “Andulovian Grackler,” and “Semi-Normal Green-Lidded Fawn.” Shortly after Seuss created this unique collection of artworks, Look Magazine dubbed Seuss “The World’s Most Eminent Authority on Unheard-Of Animals.” To this day, Seuss’s Unorthodox Collection of Taxidermy remains as some of the finest examples of his inventive and multi-dimensional creativity.


THE GOO-GOO-EYED TASMANIAN WOLGHAST

On the heels of last year’s enormously popular Kangaroo Bird, the “Wolghast” represents the second release from the Lost Sculpture Series. While eight of Seuss’s original taxidermy sculptures were documented in the 1995 publication, the Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, extensive research has revealed nine additional sculptures. These works, often referred to as the Lost Sculptures, were documented via photographs, television footage, or through firsthand authentication.

Theodor Seuss Geisel is shown here as a young man in his late twenties in a circa 1933 photo, with two of his prized taxidermy creations. With his left hand, Ted proudly pats the Goo-Goo-Eyed Tasmanian Wolghast while his right arm cradles the Sea Turtle.
