I am looking for a sculpture featured on May 9th, 1994, in the 4th season, 97th episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air titled "Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse". At the end of the show, the camera did a close-up of this lovely sculpture of a father sitting cross-legged, and a young boy about five or six sitting in his lap. The father had his head close to the boy's head, and I believe his arms were around him. In my research, I've found out this same questions posted by someone on this website: http://www.sculptor.org/finding.htm. I've also learned that the artist is located in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area. I need this information by the end of the month please. The sculpture I'm looking for is much more abstract. The shapes are distinguishable, butthere are no actual faces carved on the heads. Maybe parent & child is a more accurate description as opposed to father and son. The color is grayish. |

Something you may want to consider is the fact that many items on any set for films or television shows may look similar to something else but in reality don't exist anywhere outside the studio prop department. "Art objects" are among the most common such items manufactured by a studio for its own use. A good example would be paintings, especially portraits. If you ever tour a production studio ( I worked in the set department at Paramount for a while)you will find hundreds of paintings and other art works manufactured by the studio which look good to the camera but are little more than trash. A portrait painting can be altered with a few strokes of a brush to change its era, costuming, facial features, etc, and when seen closeup and live, you will find dozens of layers of paint. If a set uses real items of any great value, the insurance premiums alone can eat up a limited production budget. A set is a great place for such items to be broken. You will find many things of finished plaster or plastic which on camera pass as the real McCoy, even in a close-up. I wish you luck in your search. But if you can't find it, it may exist only in the mind of the set decorator and the prop department. |
