# Silly Historic Sculptures The D*Face x Medicom Toy Beethoven Bust Remixes the German Composer By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2016-02-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-medicom-toy References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/2/d-face-medicom-toy-beethoven-vinyl-bust) & [iamfatterthanyou](http://www.iamfatterthanyou.com/2016/01/medicom-x-dface-beethoven-vinyl-bust/) Paying homage to an iconic musical figure, the D*Face x Medicom Toy Beethoven bust gives the classic composer a brand new look. While some may have witnessed a sculpture of the pianist at a museum of sorts, graffiti artist D*Face has teamed with Medicom Toy to release a refashioned bust of the 'Ninth Symphony' creator. The vinyl bust is given the D*Face makeover with the artist's signature temple wings and protruding tongue. This adds a goofy factor to the musical legend as well as a playful juxtaposition against other artwork that celebrate the famed musician. The D*Face x Medicom Toy Beethoven busts makes a great piece of urban artwork for any modern home. Interested consumers can except this piece to drop -- in limited quantities -- in June 2016. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Refashioned Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists and designers to collaborate and give traditional sculptures a modern twist. - **Artistic Juxtaposition:** Exploring the playful combination of different art styles and themes to create unique and unexpected pieces. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** Growing market for exclusive and limited quantities of art collectibles, attracting passionate collectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists, sculptors, and designers can capitalize on innovative approaches to traditional art forms. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for modern homeowners to incorporate unique and eye-catching urban artwork into their interior design. - **Collectibles Market:** Entrepreneurs can tap into the demand for limited edition art collectibles by collaborating with artists and designers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Anime-Blending Split Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust.md) - [Building Block Musician Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-lego-helmets.md) - [Hyperrealistic Musician Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitzway-kurt-cobain-figurine.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md) - [Watermarked Jade Bear Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jade-berbrick.md) - [Limited-Edition Astronaut Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-astronaut-sculpture.md) - [Iconic Artwork Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-art-mona-lisa-set.md) - [Artful Motion Toy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nina-chanel-abney-bravo.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md)
