Fanny Pereire, an art advisor specializing in film and television, curates the art seen on the walls of fictional characters like Miranda Priestly in *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, Logan Roy in *Succession*, and Bobby Axelrod in *Billions*. She works as a fine art coordinator, sourcing reproductions and original works to match character personalities and socioeconomic status, often overseeing the destruction of replicas after filming. Her role, created by producer Scott Rudin in 1999, involves clearing copyrights for every artwork shown on screen, from children's drawings to high-end pieces by artists like Wayne Thiebaud and Alex Katz.
This work matters because the art in prestige TV and film has become a crucial storytelling device, revealing character depth and social standing in stories about the elite. Pereire's expertise bridges the art world and entertainment industry, ensuring authenticity in set design while navigating complex copyright laws. Her practice highlights how visual art functions as a subtle but powerful narrative tool in contemporary media, influencing audience perception of wealth, taste, and identity.
