Antique Map of Eastern Hemisphere from the collection of Thierry Despont

About the Item

Designed by Enrico Bonetti (E. Bonatti) and published by Francesco Vallardi Editore. Based on an earlier map by Evangelista Azzi (Ev. Azzi). Labeled as such at bottom edge of map. This piece came from the personal collection of Thierry Despont (1948 - 2023), perhaps best known for his architectural practice—which played integral roles in the restoration of the Statue of Liberty, re-imagining the Ritz in Paris, and designing the interiors of the Getty Center—as well as for his notable private clients like Bill Gates and Calvin Klein. He was an avid, omnivorous, and (above all) imaginative collector. Throughout his life, he acquired furniture and objects from very different periods and in a broad array of styles, relishing the unexpected dialogues juxtaposing works and complementary pieces made among themselves.
