Our expert's notes

A production-made ape mask and lifecast from Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Designed by make-up and creature effects artist Stuart Freeborn, the mask was made for the 'Dawn of Man' sequence at the beginning of the film.

Made from biscuit foam, the ape mask is cast from Freeborn's head, and features the initials 'S.F' written in red marker on the inside. Age and wear is visible throughout the mask including scratches, cracks and red filler where a seam line has been repaired.

Accompanying the pieces is a black-and-white autographed photograph by Freeborn of a member of the production working on an ape mask. The mask is supplied with a modern faux-gold spray painted lifecast of Freeborn and presented on a custom-made black stand. Dimensions (lifecast on display): 20 cm x 20 cm x 40 cm (8" x 8" x 15 ¾")

Estimate: £600 - £800

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
