- Made:
- 2010-2016
Framed still from The Simpsons episode “Elementary School Musical” Season 22 Episode 1 on which Stephen Hawking was a guest voice. The still depicts Hawking as a DJ playing alongside Lisa Simpson, and Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie from the Flight of the Concords who were also guest voice actors on that episode, beneath the still the poster is inscribed “The Simpsons MABF21 – “Elementary School Musical” Special Guest Voice by Stephen Hawking”.
In addition to photographs, all of the walls and surfaces of Stephen Hawking's office were covered in posters, customized framed gifts and artwork, which together represent over two hundred items. Their location shifted with some frequency, and some items were circulated in and out, but there remained a consistent sample from throughout his professional life. Some of the older items, having hung for many decades on several of his office spaces, show considerable fading caused by sunlight.
