This holiday season, Bergdorf Goodman celebrates artistry and nostalgia with a groundbreaking exhibit by Dan Life, the first artist to be exclusively featured in the iconic department store. On the 7th floor, Life at Bergdorf offers a glittering showcase of jewel-embellished sculptures, paintings, and works on paper that reinterprets fashion iconography through Dan Life’s distinctive lens. The exhibition runs through February 14th, inviting viewers to experience the intersection of art, culture, and high fashion.
At the center of Life at Bergdorf is Dan Life’s ability to breathe new life into familiar symbols of aspiration. Her “Untitled Purse,” powered through the coveted Hermès Birkin, has already sold out twice in its first week. It was then replaced with a reproduction sculpture of a $150,000 Jordan sneaker, encrusted with 143,000 Swarovski crystals, each set by hand over 3 months. These works speak of luxury and craftsmanship, fusing pop culture nostalgia with fashionable art.
Dan Life’s distinctive strategy extends beyond sculpture. His use of magazine covers and fashion photographs of brands such as Balenciaga and Prada as canvases, explores the fusion of nostalgia and iconography, pop imagery in art that resonates across generations.
These pieces bridge the afterlife and the present, offering a cultural debate that is personal and universal, featuring some of the most memorable characters from the television series The Simpsons.
With creditors ranging from royalty to celebrities like Justin Bieber, Shakira, and Bad Bunny, Dan Life’s paintings are synonymous with cutting-edge reinterpretations of pop culture. Fresh off his ComplexCon collaboration with ESPN, which featured the “TOP 10” channel presented via 2 Chainz and Caitlin Clark, Dan Life’s designs influence the worlds of fashion, art, sports, and entertainment.
