Pierre Bergian
Living Room of Tony Duquette, 1354 Dawnridge Drive, Los Angeles

2020

About the Item

American decorator Tony Duquette’s exuberant vision was most fully expressed in his Beverly Hills retreat, known as Dawnridge, where he lived with his wife Elizabeth (known as “Beegle”) from 1949 until his death in 1999. The property, now maintained by Duquette’s longtime business partner, interior designer Hutton Wilkinson, was described in the pages of Architectural Digest as “Space Age Baroque.” Its appeal endures, apparently: in recent years Dawnridge has served as the setting for such affairs as the television series “Ratched” and a Gucci ad campaign. Pierre Bergian (Bruges, Belgium, b. 1965) explores the essence of space, depicting architectural interiors with an expressive line that renders them out of time. Bergian lives and works in Bruges, where he continues to be fascinated by the many historic, abandoned buildings there. The artist studied art history and archaeology at the University of Ghent and has exhibited internationally, including at Purdy Hicks Gallery, London; Galerie Laurent de Puybaudet, Paris; Galerie Josine Bokhoven, Amsterdam; and Gerald Bland, New York. His work is conserved in the permanent collection of the British Museum.

  • Drawing Room of Jayne Wrightsman, 820 Fifth Avenue, New York
    By Pierre Bergian
    Located in New York, NY
    While Jayne Wrightman’s taste was universally recognized as exquisite—she was a peerless collector and long served as a trustee at the Metropolitan Museum of Art—the society grande dame and philanthropist chose to work with Parisian decorators Maison Jansen upon acquiring her palatial Fifth Avenue home. In fact, Jansen had already started; the apartment’s previous owner, private dealer Renée de Becker, had brought them in. Wrightsman and husband Charles continued with Jansen; upon principal Stephane Boudin’s death, they began working with Henri Samuel, thus beginning a long association. While the bones of the room owe much to Jansen, the decoration—the colors, the upholstery, and most of the furnishings—are Samuel. Shown here is the sprawling 31-foot-by-21-foot drawing...
