About the Item

Thierry Despont, best-known for his architectural practice—for his integral role in the restoration of the Statue of Liberty, his re-imagining of the Ritz in Paris, and the interiors of the Getty Center (as well as for his notable private clients like Bill Gates and Calvin Klein)—was nevertheless an accomplished painter, sculptor, author, and furniture maker. This sculpture, a paragon of balance and refinement, assimilates Despont's interests in astronomy and engineering toward an elegant result.
