In addition, signature,” by definition, means autographed by the person on hand. Since, Theodor Geisel was -DEAD- when these 72,000 or more non-disclosed reproductions were posthumously reproduced with his so-called “signature” applied, how’d he do that? Furthermore, under U.S. Copyright Law, for something to be considered a “limited edition” it must be FIRST: an original “work of visual art” and SECOND: that is signed and numbered by the artist. Since, Theodor Geisel was dead when these non-disclosed reproductions were reproduced, obviously he could not have signed and numbered anything. In other words, the Chase Group are, with impunity, counterfeiting Theodor Geisel’s work and his signature and calling them the “Art of Dr. Seuss” with “Dr. Seuss signatures” to help them defraud the public of hundreds to thousands of dollars each. In closing, as a -living- artist, I have created and printed over 10,000 original stone lithographs over the last twenty-three years. Yet, the Chase Group and participating galleries would have you believe that Theodor Geisel, despite being -dead- (d.1991) and violating the rule of law and laws of nature, can be given attribution since 1997 to 72,000 non-disclosed reproductions misrepresented as lithographs, serigraphs and sculptures.

Because the reproductions included in The Art of Dr. Seuss project were created after his lifetime, each limited edition lithograph and serigraph bears an Authorized Printed Signature and each sculpture an Authorized Engraved Signature, identifying the work as an exclusively authorized limited edition commissioned by the Seuss Estate. (Works published in this manner are oftentimes referred to as estate or posthumous editions.)" Pamela Jean Gallery has never stated or implied that these are originals.
