Annemarie Davidson Furniture

Annemarie Davidson was born Annemarie Behrendt in 1920 in Berlin, Germany and moved to New York City with her family in 1936. Davidson is known for her fine modernist abstract copper enamels. Davidson studied economics, receiving her bachelor's degree from New York University in 1941 and was awarded her master's degree at Columbia University in 1942. In 1942, she married Norman Davidson, a chemist and molecular biologist. The Davidsons moved to the Sierra Madre in California in 1946, where Norman Davidson was a Caltech professor and a pioneering scientist in the field of microbiology. While her husband was at Harvard in 1957, she studied with enamellist Doris Hall in Cambridge. Returning to the Sierra Madre in 1958, Davidson continued studying with the African American enamelist Curtis Tann. She became a friend of Los Angeles–based enamellist Mary Sharp. Influenced by Hall, Tann and to some extent Sharp, her enamels were brightly colored and abstract. Davidson would use glass fragments, which she referred to as jewels in her work, which would become part of the enamel, giving her work a distinctive freeform sculptural style. Davidson died in the Sierra Madre on September 24, 2012.

Vintage Annemarie Davidson Enamel Plate – Mid-Century Modern Studio Art on Coppe
By Annemarie Davidson
Located in San Diego, CA
This striking octagonal enamel plate by Annamarie Davidson exemplifies the bold innovation and craftsmanship of mid-century modern design. Radiating with dynamic energy, the plate features a mesmerizing composition of raised circular forms in vibrant blues, soft lavenders, lemon yellows, and aquas. These biomorphic shapes pulse from the center outward, dramatically set against a richly textured field of radiating copper-brown lines over a vivid electric blue enamel ground. The plate’s dimensionality and meticulous surface treatment create a luminous, almost cosmic effect—an exceptional example of Davidson’s signature style. Annamarie Davidson was a pivotal figure in the American studio enamel movement during the mid-20th century. Working primarily in the 1950s and 60s, Davidson was part of a wave of California-based artists who elevated enameling from a craft tradition to a fine art form. Her work is celebrated for its rich color palettes, playful abstraction, and masterful command of vitreous enamel on copper. Each piece is not only a testament to her technical skill but also to her ability to harmonize modernist aesthetics with expressive, organic forms. As mid-century modern design sought to integrate art into everyday life, Davidson's enamelware—functional yet visually arresting—embodied that ethos perfectly. This plate is more than decorative; it is a radiant artifact from a revolutionary design era, and a fine addition to any collection of mid-century art, ceramics, or design. Add a rare and radiant piece of Mid-Century Modern art to your collection with this vintage enamel plate...
