What is the name of this art deco statue?

A very tall, thin statue which looks similar to an Oscar, except it has its arms straight above its head, as if it were diving upwards.

Every time I've seen it it has been silver and I have seen the statue in the game 'Bioshock' (as the lighthouse and main logo) and I think it was also similar to the logo for the company which made 'mechas' in the film 'Artificial Intelligence'.

Any Ideas?

P.s: It's not the statue 'Atlas'.
Hmmm, no it's not 'Gumby Goes to Heaven' either. It was far more sleek, thin and had the flats of its hands clasped together.

What is the best glue to use on a broken Franklin Mint Statue?

10 years ago, my daughter (who was 3 or 4 at the time) broke one of my valuable art deco Franklin Mint statues. She is 14 now and I finally unpacked my collection. I would like to fix this statue, but the glues that Michaels sells so far have not worked. Liquid Nails craft glue, Super Glue Gel....nothing is working. I am looking for someone who has successfully repaired a Franklin Mint statue - and would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

if this Franklin Mint statue is Valuable then i would go to a proper restoration place to have it repaired, as if you do it yourself IT would be WORTHLESS


Franklin Mint Art Deco Collection?

I have a couple of statues in the Franklin Mint Art Deco Collection. I have no clue how many were made or what they all were called. I have done net searches like crazy to no avail and the Franklin Mint office doesn't have an email to query. Does anyone know?

The ofice for orders does have a tel. nos. though. Call this no. and ask them them who can help you re your statues. The no is Quick Order, please call 1-800-THE-MINT. I found this at where as you say the email no. is invalid. http://www.franklinmint.com/product1.aspx?SID=2&Product_ID=9299


Could someone tell me the difference, in terms of design, between Art Nouveau and Art Deco?

I've inherited two statues which might be either, both or neither of these styles. I've posed pictures of the statues here:

http://www.geocities.com/babie_boomah/

Could someone help me determine the period of design they may be from? Thanks.

Art nouveau was a decorative style originating in the 1880s, reached peak of popularity around 1900. Called many names (German Jugenstil). It was characterized b y swaying, curving lines, flower and leaf motifs and woman when depicted were shown partially or wholly nude, often with long flowing hair. I am not sure whether your two sculptures can be considered to be in this style, but they are definitely not Art deco pieces. This was the fashionable style between World War 1 and 1 (1919-1939) which replaced Art Nouveau and unlike Art Noveau had little regard for refined craftmanship. It featured streamlined, geometric patterns and strong color schemes. No sinuous figures as were found in Art nouveau. In my opinion neither of your two statuettes can be described as pure Art Nouveau. However It would be worth taking them into an antiques specialist to get an opinion.


Believe an "art deco" sculpture Looks like a flying oscar. the name??

Golden statue that looks like a superman pose flying with no legs but a solid structure that looks like fire only straight lines. May be to vague but I want to find the statue??

Prometheus, the God of Fire, comes to mind, and Paul Manship's Art Deco golden statue of him at the Rockfeller Center, New York - but it doesn't fit totally your description. If you aren't familiar with this sculpture check it out at - top row, second from left. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.
