PaperCity slickers already know that Dallas sculptor/designer George Sellers is one of our favorite muses. But did you know they're on to him in New York, too? Seems our George was asked by Douglas Little, purveyor of all those decadent D.L. & Co. candles and whatnots, to execute a little something for one of five store windows celebrating Little's limited-edition laptop skins for the Adamo computer by Dell. The store? None other than Bergdorf Goodman. The little something? A 12-foot tall grande dame — in plaster. Sellers pored over black-and-white photos of a young Marlene Dietrich as inspiration for the face, carving it first in clay, then making a rubber mold, then finally pouring it in plaster, all in his Oak Cliff studio. Next, he built a wood torso, then a reliquary box for her "heart," then assembled copper pipes for arms, those to be covered later. Sellers then carved her hands, neck and shoulders from solid plaster — no molds. She was "packed and shipped to Brooklyn," says George, where she was fitted to her steel-frame "skirt," over which a custom gown by Leila Bazzani was draped. Sellers' large lady was driven to Manhattan, where she spent three days in Bergdorf's window, having chandeliers dangled, her wig attached and her crystal heart installed. Alas, the lass has been de-installed (the holiday windows took over after the Dell promotion), but I present the proof that it really did happen. Click the shots below to see Sellers' divine creation from start finish — it takes a moment for some of the shots to load, but the wait is worth it.
