Late 20th c., USA, patinated architectural bronze, extremely heavy and well made, in the manner of Marc du Plantier, unmarked, 32"h x 72"w x 20"d Matte gold finish Handcrafted in the USA Annabelle Selldorf is the queen of stealthy architecture. Not for her the big move: she really can’t stand a wow factor. Instead, the wry German 53-year-old has wooed the art world – whose key figures frequently knock on her door – with designs that exude quiet con- fidence. More recently, she applied the same rules to a state-of-the-art recycling centre just outside New York, where she lives. Next on her list is a major addition to a prestigious Californian museum. She might have started small, but now Annabelle is building very big indeed.
