Developed in close collaboration with The Company, this beautiful, richly illustrated publication features some of the most cherished characters in screen history and explores their indelible imprint on entertainment, education and popular culture. The publication also explores the enduring legacy of The Jim Henson Company, a creative powerhouse, renowned for its independent, values-driven creativity and its pioneering experimentation, collaboration and innovation.
Featuring an overview by exhibition curator Amanda Slack-Smith, and contributions by Henson family members - Lisa Henson, CEO; and Brian Henson, Chairman, Board of Directors, The Jim Henson Company - as well as others from the world of film, television and puppetry, the publication reflects on the workings of a family-run studio and shares insights into the lives of puppeteers and creators, particularly their artistry, influences and emotionally resonant storytelling.
