Spanning back to his youth, the exhibit showcases some 500 drawings and sketches (most kept for years in unopened boxes and cupboards), more than 130 photographs, and 35 paintings, like the watercolor Rain (2005), above. From cheeky doodles in pencil and pen and complex geometric shapes on matchbook covers, to black-and-white photographs of abandoned factories and digitally reworked 19th and 20th century nudes, a portrait emerges of a man fascinated by the emotional response to the physical world and the human form.

As a TV producer, he created The Patty Duke Show and I Dream of Jeannie, but in midlife, he went for grander plotlines. His novels, including Are You Afraid of the Dark?--published when he was 87--and The Other Side of Midnight, sold 300 million copies in 180 countries and made...
