About Legends and Starlite Originals    

Starlite Originals, LLC, a fine art foundry located in Los Angeles, was founded in 1972 by Bob Beckerman. Today his sons continue to manage and grow the business. Starlite Originals represents sculptors through Gallery Edition publishing. The Legends, Disney, Genesis and Kitty's Critters collections are marketed and distributed through Limited Edition Publishings. Starlite has expanded to include offering foundry services to other artists, publishers, and private label clients. Their unique technical innovations of Mixed Media®, Lucite®, and metal embedment are making a dramatic impact on the market.

The Foundry Starlite Originals L.L.C., has been crafting affordable fine art sculpture for nearly 3 decades. We pride ourselves on our commitment to publishing the work of contemporary artists. Utilizing our innovative Los Angeles, CA. based foundry and through the creation of our very own Mixed Media® process (the combination of various precious metals and hot-torched patinas), we create and publish the distinct brand names of Legends®, Genesis®, Kitty's Critters and Starlite Originals Gallery Editions sculptures. These sculptures can range from simple metal to translucent Lucite®, embedding such metals and 3/4 relief. Refer to the Manufacturing section, found on the home page, for further details on sculpture creation. Every sculpture is an original. In sculpting, the clay form of the sculpture presented by the artist is just one step in the creation process. This clay version is completely destroyed when the initial molds are made. The finished metal casting made from those molds are all first generation castings of the sculpture. Therefore, each sculpture is an original casting, making each piece an original, and subsequently, much more valuable. It is this unique concept, as well as their masterful innovation of Mixed Media®–the harmonious blending of precious metals and hot-torched patinas-that has established them as leaders in the fine art market. Starlite Originals L.L.C. takes their commitment to fine art one step further by working toward cultural and wildlife conservation, and proudly donates a percentage of profits from selected releases to various non-profit organizations.
