Andie MacDowell and John Malkovich in The Object of Beauty (1991)

Trivia

The Object of Beauty

Edit
Henry Moore (1898-1986) was a English sculptor who specialized in works featuring carved heads and abstract human forms, the latter often in a reclining position. As his career progressed, Moore favored very large works, many weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds, and received numerous commissions to create pieces for sculpture gardens and other public spaces. By the late-1940s his body of work was often the 'measuring stick' to which other sculptors compared their work. The statuette (likely a replica) that Tina owns is an actual piece that can be found in catalogs of Moore's work.
(at around 1h25m) The camera dwells on an exhibition poster in Joan's home that promotes the photography of Bob Carlos Clarke (1950-2006). Clarke was a British-Irish photographer whose work was heavily involved with nude erotic images, but also included portrait and commercial photography. He was sometimes referred to as the 'British Helmut Newton.' A great deal of his art is held at London's National Portrait Gallery.
Elizabeth Perkins was originally cast to play Joan, but had to drop out due to illness. Lolita Davidovich was eventually cast in her place.
