Houdini commissioned this bust to be placed at his gravesite. Two copies were made, and this one is on exhibit at the Houdini Museum in New York City, a private collection. It is about 30 inches tall.
Harry Houdini (1874 -1926) was a Hungarian-born American illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts.
The bust has been stolen or destroyed four times between 1975 and 1993. The original was gladly donated to the Museum of the City of New York by wife Bess, but the replica was smashed by sledge hammer in 1975, replaced and then stolen in 1983, only to be recovered in 2003. It was most recently replaced in 2011 by a group from the Society of American Magicians calling themselves the Houdini Commandos who made a replica.
