Tony Duquette was an extremely influential Hollywood artist and designer whose work spanned the 1940s through the 1990s. He, along with his wife Elizabeth and artistic partner Hutton Wilkinson, crafted elaborate, fantastical sets for stage and film as well as interiors, jewelry, furniture and costume designs. Duquette worked for Hollywood and New York’s elite and eventually a truly international clientele, from South America to Hawaii to Venice to Asia, his work was famous for its bold, arresting, and colorful designs. He designed jewels for the Duchess of Windsor. He was the first American ever to have a solo exhibit at the Louvre.

His protégé Hutton Wilkinson has written three books devoted to Duquette’s creative genius, which introduced his body of work to a wide audience. You can see early iterations of the collection photographed in “Tony Duquette” and “More is More.”
