Celebrated children's books creators Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart are the best-known pop-up book artists working today as well as the makers of the remarkableThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the three-volume series Encyclopedia Prehistorica: Dinosaurs, Sharks and Other Sea Monsters, and Megabeasts. Working in a shared studio in New York, the two have created an assemblage of hand-crafted pop-up books that are both intriguing and breathtaking at the turn of every page.

Wizards of Pop includes over 60 images from 13 picture and pop-up books. The book art reveals a variety of media and techniques — with picture book illustrations in batik, marbleized paper mosaic, and delicate cut-paper, and pop-up books rendered in pencil, marker, watercolor, acrylic, and linoleum block print. The exhibition features imaginative two-dimensional artworks from such books as Saint Valentine, The Blizzard\'s Robe, andThe Paper Dragon, as well as innovatively engineered three-dimensional pages fromThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Encyclopedia Prehistorica series, Young Naturalist\'s Pop-Up Handbook: Beetles and Butterflies, Cinderella, and STAR WARS: A Pop-up Guide to the Galaxies, among others.

Sabuda and Reinhart\'s inventive creations have universal appeal, calling readers of all ages to explore the fantasy of their books. Between them, the artists have garnered numerous illustration awards, with several of their books appearing on the New York Times Best Seller List.
