Film Projects
With a style so distinct the adjective ‘Burtonesque’ was coined, Tim Burton has written, directed, and produced numerous iconic films - encompassing cult favorites, box office smashes and inventive adaptations. Credited with kickstarting the juggernaut of superhero films (Batman, 1989; Batman Returns, 1992), reinvigorating stop-motion animation (Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, 1993; Corpse Bride, 2005), putting a macabre twist on grand scale musicals (Sweeney Todd, 2007), and creating some of cinema’s most iconic antiheroes (Beetlejuice, 1988; Edward Scissorhands, 1990) Burton’s films span numerous genres but all retain his inimitable aesthetic. Outside of feature films Tim Burton has also turned his hand to music videos, television series, short films and advertisements.
Exhibitions
The World of Tim Burton has been touring worldwide since 2014, opening in Prague and having visited 10 venues so far, with more opening imminently. This exhibition followed the hugely successful Tim Burton exhibition, which broke attendance records when it opened at the MOMA in New York and subsequently toured five other locations over three years. In addition, other monographic exhibitions such as Lost Vegas and The Lurid Beauty of Monsters have shown different aspects of Tim Burton’s art and career in unusual and interesting locations. Original works by Tim Burton have also been standout pieces in external exhibitions such as Stories of Cinema at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles and Vampires, which toured France and Spain from 2019-2021
Books and merchandise
The Art of Tim Burton is the definitive compilation of forty years of Tim Burton's artistry, which includes film concepts and hundreds of illustrations from his personal archives, edited under the creative guidance of Burton himself. Organized thematically starting with his childhood in Burbank, California, it offers an insight into the development of his art as well as the origins of a few familiar characters. The 430-page coffee table book has a mini companion in things you think about in a bar, a book which provides a glimpse into the mind of a man who spends much of his life on the road.
