Not an architect or a sculptor
I think that's 10 questions, so I'll recap and give a hint.
A S
Yes to:
Real
Male
Artist (of a kind -- his works aren't usually found in museums)
No to:
Alive
Actor
Politician
Writer
American
Architect
Sculptor
It's time to stop fiddling around and get serious about this question, so I'll tell you that one of this person's works was in the news recently, when it was returned unharmed to its owner (who uses it in his job, and who had carelessly left it outside his house overnight).
yiy! That doesn't help! At least the story doesn't ring a bell! So... is it:
August Sander?
Albert Sughi?
August Strindberg?
Alan Sonfist?
Alfred Sisley?
Antonio Saura?
Atanasio Soldati?
Not:
August Sander
Albert Sughi
August Strindberg
Alan Sonfist
Alfred Sisley
Antonio Saura
Atanasio Soldati
Sorry the reference to the news story didn't help, but there's some clever wordplay (well, I thought it was clever, anyway) buried in my hint that provides a clue about what this person did, so maybe it will help if you try to find the word, and go from there.
Yay, Raggedy -- Antonio Stradivari it is! (Now we can stop fiddling around).
It was the fiddle that gave it to me.

I want to say Betty Boop (and I will), but I'm not sure if she was ever in a TV show.
