❝ I hope that Himstedt collectors will<br />
continue to cherish all the different<br />
dolls that were created and lovingly<br />
crafted for over two decades. ❞<br />
We are honored that Annette chose<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Toy</strong> <strong>Shoppe</strong> to represent the<br />
Artist’s Proofs from her personal collection.<br />
<strong>The</strong> charm and grace of Annette Himstedt’s dolls seems so effortless that it<br />
understates the artistic expertise needed to create them. Her design was always<br />
fresh and vibrant, her sculpting captured the magical nature of childhood and her<br />
technical innovations were unsurpassed. Annette remains the most influential doll<br />
artist of modern times and her creations continue to be in high demand by those<br />
who appreciate fine dolls.<br />
This catalog spans the breadth of Annette’s career from her groundbreaking<br />
Barefoot Children to the final Farewell Collection. Each came directly<br />
from her manufactory in Germany before its closing. With Annette<br />
no longer producing dolls, this is truly a rare opportunity to<br />
own one of her exceptional Himstedt Kinder.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Toy</strong> <strong>Shoppe</strong> has been the home for Annette doll’s<br />
since we first brought her work to America in the 1980s.<br />
We are honored that she chose us to represent her<br />
Personal Collection and Artist’s Proofs - many of which<br />
are in this catalog. Please call us toll free 1 800 447-7995<br />
and we will be happy to help you.<br />
