I spy! Walter Wick’s hidden wonders celebrates the inventive, visionary work of artist Walter Wick. Renowned worldwide for his iconic I spy and Can you see what I see? series, Wick has captivated readers across cultures and generations with his award-winning magazine illustrations and books.

His immersive large-scale photographs feature miniature worlds, optical illusions, search-and-find games, and puzzle challenges, reflecting his unique approach to layered visual storytelling. Meticulously designed, hand built, and assembled, his complex images bring together the realms of art, craft, and technology.

Through Wick’s lens, everyday objects become portals to imagined landscapes and intricate, impossible worlds, inviting viewers of all ages to explore every corner of visual stories that transcend age and time. Presenting the largest survey of Wick’s work to date, this exhibition encourages close looking and discovery, reminding us to access childhood wonder.

I relish the opportunity to deeply immerse visitors of all ages into a world of imaginative play—a world of toy-filled landscapes, home-built cities, and the promise of hidden wonders to be found around every corner.
