Reviews for this item
I got this for my friends birthday since it’s her favorite building. She absolutely loved it!
The piece just arrived. It was a Christmas gift for my wife who was the curator of Modern & Contemporary Art when it was The Met Breuer. The Breuer building holds many memories and significant moments. It was such a joyful place and an amazing point in our lives. It was truly exciting for me to watch her lift the lid of that little black box and hold that sweet memory in her hand. Thank you very much.

Fantastic item! Great addition to my collection! A+++

Seller's description
Specifications
Model 033_Breuer Building – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings refuse to blend in, and are loved all the more for it.
On a corner of Madison Avenue, among brownstones and boutiques, Marcel Breuer's granite-clad block steps outwards as it rises, like an upside-down ziggurat leaning over the street. Opened in 1966 as the home of the Whitney Museum of American Art, it was a deliberate break from everything around it: heavy, inward-looking, and unforgettable.
This model is all about that silhouette. The stepped, cantilevered facade, the sunken entrance moat and the famous trapezoid windows had to read clearly at a small scale, so the overhangs and proportions were refined through several versions until the building felt right from the street corner and in the hand.
A small cast of one of New York's great Brutalist landmarks.
Features
• Solid cast concrete, individually hand-poured
• 5cm high, 5.5cm wide, 5cm deep (approx)
• Laser-etched cork base with building name
• Comes gift-boxed for the perfect concrete gift
• Designed, modelled, and finished in the UK
Made for architects, museum lovers, New Yorkers and anyone who has stood on Madison Avenue and looked up at that overhanging facade.

Building Information
Location: 945 Madison Avenue, Upper East Side, New York, USA
Architect: Marcel Breuer with Hamilton P. Smith
Completed: 1966
Status: In use, now the global headquarters of Sotheby's
Brief Overview:
Designed for the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Breuer Building was the Whitney's home for nearly fifty years. It later housed the Met Breuer and then Frick Madison, before Sotheby's opened it as its headquarters in November 2025 following a careful renovation by Herzog & de Meuron and PBDW Architects. It is Breuer's best-known work in New York and one of the most recognisable Brutalist buildings in the United States.
Please note:
My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
