1970's Wood Sculpture

This was purchased from Bloomingdales window in the 1970's. There was also a policeman along with it. I only have the female.

On the back is a paper scotch taped that says John Miller.

 

John Willis........ maybe a window dresser ?

 

I think you mean "John Willis."

Long shot but... You have his telephone number. The internet says he's still on East 30th Street. Why don't you call him?

If he has kept the number the area code would be 212.

 

This John Willis?

"He even had clever window displays (designed by John Willis, who appears in the documentary)"

 

Bet that's the same. And Bloomingdale's windows were the ne plus ultra of department store windows in the 1970s.

The director of the documentary says Willis is British and now lives near London.

 

Isn't that interesting? Why don't you contact Deutchman? He'd be interested to see your piece and might put you in contact.
