拍品专文

One of Zuzek's greatest strengths was her ability to inject whimsy into a traditional pattern. From afar, Lilly's Owls appears as a bold polka-dot pattern. Closer examination reveals a flock of inquisitive owls. All owls in this pattern are oriented the same way, making it an outlier among Zuzek's patterns which typically twist and turn every direction. This made the print especially suited to long vertical silhouettes such as men's jeans, where it became a staple. Pulitzer tended to favor Zuzek's animal prints for men's wear, and florals for women and girls.

As with so many of the Zuzek originals, this piece holds a special surprise on the back. A paisley with a small sketch of a mouse wearing a bowtie appears amongst various production notes. The theme of animals in dapper attire can be seen in much of Zuzek's work, such as in Gallery, lot 35.
