Annabelle Selldorf
Architecture, museums and the Frick’s next chapter
Architecture around art
Annabelle Selldorf founded Selldorf Architects in New York in 1988. The practice works across cultural, residential and commercial projects, including museums and galleries. Her work places the experience of looking at art within a larger architectural question: how buildings can support visitors, collections and the daily work of an institution.
The Frick connection
Selldorf Architects designed the Frick Collection’s renovation and expansion. The project makes her a central figure in our reporting on the museum’s reopened home and its 2026 Autumn Dinner, where she was the announced honoree. The benefit links support for the institution with an architectural achievement that changes how its collection is encountered.
Read the event in context
Our Frick story follows the relationship between the museum’s rooms, its collection and the work of the architect. The linked guide preserves the specific October 20, 2026 edition. It remains useful as an archive of the occasion, while Selldorf’s practice and the museum’s own project information offer a broader view of the building. Those connections lead from the architectural work to a museum that can be visited and a report that explains the occasion.
