Gage Prentiss, the celebrated weird sculptor of Providence, has sculpted a life-sized statue of HPL which hopefully will soon have a permanent home in Providence. This bust of HPL is a replica of the full sized one, but at 10 inches by 5 inches, it's much easier to ship and put on display in your home. It's a tasteful and fitting tribute to the master of weird fiction.
The sculpture is cast in resin with a lovely aged faux bronze patina. The finish on the castings we have in stock are a bit more bronze in color and a bit less antiqued than the casting in the photo above.
Customer Reviews
This is a really beautiful bust. I talk to him all the time. Definitely recommend.
A finely made, weighty and dignified tribute to HPL, packed & shipped with care.
The description would benefit greatly from some up to date photographs - the bronze colour resin is superb and would suit modern and classic aesthetics alike.
Thank you HPLHS.
This beautifully executed tentacle-free statue has pride of place on the eye-level shelf of the bookcase holding the majority of our HPL collection. This item seems to be in short supply and so if you snooze you lose!
For a little while this bust statue of Lovecraft was out of stock but I'd signed up for email notification when it comes available. So glad I did! Once I received that email notice I mulled out the idea of purchasing this for a few days and then caved and, wow, am I happy I did so! Sometimes you wonder if an item looks better in a photo than in person. Does the actual size warrant the price? Will it be as impressive as it sounds? I was quite taken away with how amazing this statue is once it had been delivered and I removed it from the shipping box. This is an item that wholeheartedly deserves a venerable place on any reader's home's bookshelf! Don't let this one pass you by, people!
The pictures do not do this work of art justice, even though it is a scaled down replica, it still captures the visceral qualities of the full sized sculpt and it faithfully captures the look of Mr Lovecraft. I am proud to have added it to my collection and I cannot suggest it enough as an elegant piece to accompany any library or other suitably dark demesne, should another one come up for sale.
