Editorial Reviews: Product Description American artist and design legend Tony Duquette (19141999) was known for his over-the-top style in interiors, jewelry, costumes, and set design. His clients included Elizabeth Arden, the Duchess of Windsor, and Herb Albert. The multi-talented Duquette designed sets for MGM musicals with Arthur Freed and Vincente Minnelli, and designed Tony Awardwinning costumes for the original Broadway production of Camelot. Duquette was the first American to exhibit a one-man show at the Louvre in Paris. Tony Duquette is a lavishly illustrated book with many lost and never-before published photographs from the Duquette archives, including portraits and pictures taken by Man Ray, John Engstead, Fredrich Dapriche, Andre Ostier, George Platt Lynnes, as well as original sketches, designs, and texts by Duquette himself. With commentary, interviews, stories, and contributions from Liza Minnelli, Arlene Dahl, Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber, and others.

The book is well assembled, the photographs are fine. The style however is bordello-esque. For a more elegant alternative, buy Alberto Pinto. Great book. Highly recommend! June 17, 2009 Y. Boyalska (Italy) This is a very special book. Particular style and great images inspire interior designers and fashion designers as well. I am definitively gonna use it during my work! DU-GET-IT February 26, 2009 Jason Chadwell 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is a fantastic look into the "unusual" world of Tony Duquette. Truly unique and original in character and aesthetic, Duquette is one of the most inspiring mid-century artists. He made a living by applying his innate taste to everything from movie sets to jewelry. A wonderful archive of photographs and recollections. Delectable! Delicious! De-Lovely! February 9, 2009 Chic Savage 2 out of 3 found this review helpful Tony Duquette, is not for everyone, but for all those enthralled by interior design, this is a must have for your library. This volume is sublime from start to finish. For me, he was one of the great talents in the world of interior decoration and this volume pays an hommage as great as the man. An exceptional look at an exceptional talent! An exquisite volume! Have waited a long time for this book! No more guessing January 10, 2009 APC (West Hollywood) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful After seeing his whimsical and rich interiors used in many fashion magazine photo shoots (and wondering where these fabulous places were), am so happy to finally see all of Tony Duquette's works in one book and to read about his creative story. Very well done and thoroughly researched. Great quality photos. Showing reviews 1-5 of 14 1 2 3 Next »
