Tribute to Motion Picture Celebrities is located in a traffic island, surrounded by busy streets in downtown Beverly Hills. It is installed on a round concrete pad, surrounded by grass-planted beds. It is exposed to carbon soot from automobile traffic and the acidic pollutants of an urban environment. Although the lawn sprinklers were not turned on during this inspection, it is likely that the bottom section of the sculpture receives regular spray of mineral laden water. The sculpture is directly accessible by the public, since a sidewalk crosses in front of the round concrete pad.
Birds roost on the top elements of the sculpture.
The sculpture is a tribute to film celebrities who participated in the initiative to incorporate the city of Beverly Hills. The sculpture is set on a square marble base. The central element of the sculpture I composed of an octagonal base with engraved signatures and names of films , and a tall octagonal pillar. The base and pillar are clad in granite. Above this pillar is a vertical spire encircled by a spiral of film, apparently fabricated in copper sheet.
