Untitled - The Toy Shoppe

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