DILL, Lesley (American, b. 1950) Dress of War and Sorrow. 2006. Mixed media, metal foil, organza, and thread. Artwork is in two sections; a mannequin figure on a stand with dress attached, and a separated train for the dress. From the press release: “One of the centerpieces of the exhibition is a silver and black metal foil dress entitled “Dress of War and Sorrow”. Styled in the haute couture manner with a high neck, tight waist, and a flowing train, Dill creates a layered sheath of cut out skeletons taken from Tibetan texts. The result is a sharply morbid glamour, a lament on current world issues.” This work is still current in tone. Dimensions variable: overall approx. 77 h x 77 w x 69” d; train (separated) 66 x 58”. Overall good condition. Provenance: George Adams Gallery, New York City. Third-party shipping required.
