this guy is due to be installed on new york city’s high line in the next couple of weeks. in 2014, the sculpture – painted bronze and very lifelike – caused quite a stir on the campus of wellesley college. the coeds were not amused.
i kinda like him.
your thoughts….?
okay…was this guy brilliant or what?
an industrial designer and unsung hero who worked for george nelson associates. by day mr. harper had a hand in designing some of the most iconic mid-century items for nelson and herman miller. all of these — clocks, marshmallow sofa — were credited to nelson and the firm.
but by night….harper made paper sculptures. ahhhhh….
harper’s sculptures recently set records at auction. who knew?
as much as my architectural heroes of the 80s and 90s were richard meier and shelton-mindel associates, i have switched my allegiance to deborah berke and annabelle selldorf. the twenty-first century architectural world is finally ready to receive these two uber talented ladies. they play with the big boys and look fabulous while doing so.
selldorf architects
deborah berke partners
the only question remaining is which do i choose to design my barbie dream home…
