Very little information can be found on the origin of Austin Productions and their statutes. The company began in Brooklyn, New York in the 1950s by manufacturing imitations of classical Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sculptures for mass consumption. Austin sculptures allowed for world-renowned, classical works of art to influence the average home as scaled-down furnishings and decorations available for purchase. Despite the level of mass production, Austin Productions' statues developed a reputation for their high-quality reproductions, especially those made of bronze like the Darwin Monkey Statue. The company retired its entire line and ceased production in 2009, leading to a rise in value of the collectible statues. MOTAL’s Darwin Monkey Statue is thought provoking, interesting, and keeps us thinking about the past, present, AND future of education.
