Anita Margrill

California, United States

Anita Margrill is a California-based artist whose public work brings architecture, technology and environmental processes together. ArtsWA describes installations that use sunlight, wind and water. Her Wind Pavillion at Sunnyside Beach Park in Steilacoom combines a wind-activated roof with a beach shower, connecting a sculptural structure to everyday public use. San Francisco’s civic collection documents her collaboration with Nobuho Nagasawa on pole-mounted sculptures, canopy panels and paving inserts for Third Street light-rail platforms. The same collection credits both artists for Blueprints, laminated-glass work commissioned for Muni’s Metro East facility. This record preserves the collaborative authorship and separates individual projects from the wider transit-art program. Documented locations describe the collection record; current condition, operating mechanisms and visitor access require a site-specific check.
