Stands as a stellar testament to Doug Meyer’s unique blend of pop sensibility and object-based design. This compelling cardboard and paint sculpture serves as a witty, stylized homage to the legendary American fashion designer Halston, capturing his definitive New York sophistication through an elongated black silhouette holding a signature cigarette. Constructed with an honest, almost brutalist approach to everyday materials, the unique piece combines hand-cut cardboard, acrylic paint, pencil marks, and raw industrial hardware like exposed screws and bolts. This physical artwork delivers substantial narrative weight and acts as an exceptional acquisition that appreciate the historical intersections of fashion and contemporary art.
 
This artwork is a striking three-dimensional cut-out sculpture of a figure, skillfully crafted with a minimalistic yet captivating design. The subject is depicted in a full-body silhouette, clad in a sleek, black ensemble that accentuates its tall, slender form. Positioned confidently on a simple, angular white base, the figure holds a cigarette, adding an intriguing layer of character and narrative. The stark contrast between the monochrome attire and the light background enhances its bold presence. Its flat, illustrative style juxtaposed with the physical depth of the cut-out form invites viewers to explore the intersection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. This piece effectively merges simplicity with sophistication, creating a unique visual statement that captures attention with its enigmatic, modern aesthetic.
