George Segal 1924-2000: Richard Bellamy Seated, 1964 (plaster and metal) Displayed at the St. Louis Art Museum
"George Segal here depicts his friend and New York art dealer Richard Bellamy in a casual pose. With shoulders slightly slumped, arms and legs crossed. Bellamy's body rests nonchalantly on a metal folding chair. This sculpture was created using Segal's characteristic method of applying cotton bandages dipped in plaster onto the faces and bodies of his chosen models- usually family, friends and neighbors. As the director of the short-lived but influential Green Gallery in New York, Bellamy showcased Segal and a number of the Pop artists featured in this gallery."
