About the Item

Patron of the arts and sciences Ann Getty (1941–2020) brought the same bounteousness to her interiors as she did to her philanthropy, most notably at the 1913 residence she shared with husband Gordon in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood. Museum-quality furniture such as verre eglomisé cabinetry and George III giltwood armchairs sat alongside artworks by Canaletto, Matisse, and Renoir, and the home cemented Getty’s status as one of the most important collectors of British decorative arts in the world. Shown here, the dining room, hung with circa-1720 chinoiserie panels made for the king of Poland; Chinese porcelain figurines stand atop golden brackets. 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...
