Whatever may be thought of them as art, the startling window displays fulfill their commercial function: they do prompt people not only to stop and look but come into the store and buy. A sequence of windows in a Manhattan boutique named San Francisco depicted the suicide of a lovesick heiress: the first window showed her talking on the telephone in the stateroom of her private yacht, surrounded by bottles of liquor and sleeping pills; later ones displayed newspaper headlines telling of her death. The heiress was wearing a silk blouse priced at $125; the store swiftly sold...
