I am seeking a 6"-8" plastic mannequin dummy to put the Barbie clothes on!
Do an internet search for “doll dress forms”, or more specifically “11 inch doll dress forms”. The following is a Google search:
I had some others but lost them when I accidentally backpaged...sorry. You should be able to find them and more. Hopefully, you can find the display standing forms you need.
Edit: This site doesn't have dress forms but it has interesting patterns and information on making scaled-down period clothing for barbie-like dolls that may add to your collection display. It also mentions (although I didn't find it) on containing instructions on making your own stands:
A mannequin (also called manikin, mannikin, dummy, or lay figure) is an often articulated doll used by artists, tailors, dressmakers, and others especially to display or fit clothing. During the 1950s, mannequins were also used in nuclear tests to help illustrate the effects of nuclear weapons on human beings. The term is also used for lifesized dolls with simulated airways used in the teaching of first aid, CPR, and advanced airway management skills such as intubation and for human figures used in computer simulation to model the behaviour of the human body. Mannequin is also used in English in the sense of fashion model. Mannequin comes from the French word mannequin, which had acquired the meaning an artists jointed model, which in turn came from the Middle Dutch word mannekijn, meaning little man, figurine.

Includes:Mannequin (1987), MPAA Rating: PG Mannequin 2: On the Move (1991), MPAA Rating: PG Mannequin In Mannequin, a lame attempt to revive the style and panache of fantasy-tinged romantic comedies of the '30s and '40s, Andrew McCarthy stars as a department store window-dresser who discovers that one of his mannequins (Kim Cattrall) is actually a woman from ancient Egypt when she becomes animated one evening. She then inspires him to become the most expressive window-dresser the business has ever seen. Of course, there is intrigue involving a rival department store's attempt to drive the good guys out of business, and together the two store-crossed lovers must combat the forces of evil to save the day. There is no real mystery about what will happen in the course of the film; it all seems color-by-numbers. The only thing unique about Mannequin is its uniquely bad and illogical script, which has holes larger than the Grand Canyon. Mannequin was a surprise box-office hit, earning nearly 25 million dollars in just under a month of its release -- no small feat considering its miniscule budget and seeming lack of appeal to any particular demographic. It spawned an inferior sequel, Mannequin Two: On the Move, reaffirming the belief that anything is possible. In spite of being panned by critics across the board, it did manage to receive one accolade -- its theme, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," was nominated by the Academy for Best Song. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi Mannequin 2: On the Move Flamboyant window dresser Hollywood Montrose (Meshach Taylor) provides the link between this film and the original Mannequin after the departure of Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy from the cast. Hollywood has now been promoted to the head of Prince & Company's Visual Display Department. He takes on a new assistant, Jason (William Ragsdale) who, in times past, was the dauphin of the kingdom of Hauptmann-Koenig. One thousand years ago, he lost his beloved Jessie (Kristy Swanson) when an evil sorcerer (Terry Kiser) turned her into a wooden icon, now known as the Enchanted Peasant Girl. As a tribute to Hauptmen-Koenig, the Enchanted Peasant Girl is being sent to Prince & Company for a window display. Jason awakens Jessie and the two get re-acquainted, having a millennium of things to catch up on. But the evil sorcerer, now reincarnated as Count Spretzle, arrives on the scene to take Jessie (and a prized necklace) and hop a flight for Bermuda, with Jason the only one who can stop him. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

I've seen beautifully made mannequin that deserves to be in museum display. But mostly, they are standing displaying clothes for commercial department store.
Thought?
The question of what art is has been around for a long time. It is incredibly difficult to define; art is very broad and subjective. The answer really lies within the following word: intention.
To answer your question, it really all depends on the intention of the creator. Did the creator of a mannequin intend the mannequin to be art? Then it is. But maybe the creator didn't intend the mannequin to be art... so then maybe its not.
There may not be one right answer because this brings up other questions... you say that the mannequin is beautiful. Does something being beautiful automatically make it art? At the same time I have seen art that is hideous. Also, what is beautiful to you may not be beautiful to someone else, and vice versa. Some questions cannot be answered definitively....
