Hidden away for years, A Plethora of Cats - Study marks the first-ever Secret Art concept work released in the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection.

"Nearly 10 years after first meeting Audrey Geisel (Ted Geisel’s wife), I was rummaging through Ted’s now famous hidden closet of rare hats and artwork and found an additional collection of artwork I had never seen. In stunned silence, I found myself face-to-face with the concept drawing that started it all – the original incarnation of A Plethora of Cats.

I thought the Plethora of Cats painting had been done spontaneously. It turns out I had been wrong – he planned it out all along. The concept drawing for the painting contained all of the complexity of the final image, but in this work I found something charged with a chaotic energy and whimsy that launched this milestone image.”
