Our expert's notes

A Grinch (Jim Carrey) make-up test bust from Ron Howard’s live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This pre-production bust was created during early tests, and was designed by legendary make-up artist Rick Baker.

Created on a rigid foam head cast of Jim Carrey, this hairless test piece features foam-latex appliances that are glued down, blended and painted just as they would be if applied to an actor. The facial appliances are fully painted in the character’s trademark green skin colour, and the elongated snout reflects Dr. Seuss’ signature aesthetic. The bust is held to a plywood base via two nylon straps that are screwed in place. The foam skin remains soft, with only minor surface wear to the paint, and is in very fine condition. Dimensions (on base): 44.5 cm x 44.5 cm x 44.5 cm (17 ½” x 17 ½” x 17 ½”)

£1,000 - 1,500
