piano; and imperial-yellow upholstery on the recital hall’s 74 seats echoes the hue of the felt found inside the instruments.” The main focal point of the showroom, however, is the main staircase which houses an installation by artist Spencer Finch titled Newton's Theory of Color and Music. The installation is a collection of multi-colored rods and is Finch's interpretation of a composition by Bach. Neue Galerie The Neau Galerie is an art museum dedicated to late nineteenth and early twentieth century Austrian and German art (furniture, paintings, sculpture, etc.) located within a historic Beaux-Arts mansion completed in 1914 on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Selldorf Architects were brought in to restore and renovate the small space after years of wear and tear had led to disrepair. While many of Annabelle Seldorf's gallery and museum designs take after the modern ‘white box’ model of exhibition spaces, the Neau Galerie's historic charm was highlighted. Sellfdorf infused the comforts of modernity into the space while at the same time revitalizing much of the museum's Beaux-Arts details. For example, ramps were added to the exterior of the building, and the interior received an elevator in order to make the museum accessible to a greater number of visitors. The second floor required a number of renovations to the plaster walls, but the museum was also revamped through the inclusion of a coat rack, cafe, and bookstore, and more. David Zwirner 20th Street The design of the 2013 David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea derives not only from the understated architectural novelty of the structure, but also from the connection the world class art dealer, Zwirner, and Selldorf have with one another. The pair formed a relationship, bonding over their shared hometown of Cologne, which has blossomed into a fruitful working relationship. In addition to designing the David Zwirner Gallery on 20th St, Selldorf has either conceived of or renovated all of Zwirner's other showrooms and also designed MZ Wallace's boutiques, a brand founded by Zwirner's wife. For the David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea, Selldorf leaned into the quiet confidence her work is known for, creating a seven-story, 30,000 square foot gallery space cladded in textured concrete and warm-toned teak, and filled with natural light. The industrial aesthetic of the building pays homage to the industrial history of the neighborhood. Always concerned with the environmental impacts of her work, the Gallery is the first LEED-certified commercial gallery in
