So Alan would have to physically send the script to me. When I started to run low on script, to keep me busy, he put the scripts in a taxi and paid $100 to get the script to me.

Bu ilding on these earlier techniques of layout and design, department store windows of the 50s and 60s were the context in which art and fashion literally merged. Window dressers began to use actual works of art from emerging artists as the background to their displays.
