Our expert's notes

A lot of Ray Gibson (Eddie Murphy) old age plaster busts from Ted Demme's prison comedy Life. These busts were created to test the make-up designed for Murphy to wear in the film and feature fully painted foam latex appliances. The bust with the shirt features a small amount of glued-on hair on the back. Also included in this lot are two Ray scalp appliances that rest on lifecasts made of biscuit foam. The bust with a shirt and the two scalp appliances show some wear and remain in fair condition while the other full bust has become brittle and remains in fragile condition. Dimensions (each bust): 19" X 8" X 20" (48 cm x 20 cm x 50 cm); Dimensions (each scalp): 9" x 6" x 8" (23 cm x 15 cm x 20 cm)
