Alabaster and oils sculpture Measuring 4.5 x 26 x 12 in (11.43 x 66.04 x 30.48 cm) "Reese's Peanut Butter Cup" is part of Robin Antar's Realism in Stone series, in which familiar icons of American consumer culture are transformed into enduring sculptural artifacts. Hand-carved from alabaster and meticulously painted, the work recreates the candy's iconic wrapper with striking precision, capturing every fold, crease, and graphic detail of the original packaging. Yet Antar intentionally allows the illusion to break along the torn edge of the wrapper, where the soft pink tones of the alabaster emerge beneath the painted surface, revealing the stone concealed within. By translating one of America's most recognizable confections from disposable packaging into a permanent material, Antar elevates an everyday object into a lasting monument to contemporary consumer culture.
