Darryl Pitt (born 1955) is an American artist manager, photographer and contributor to the popularization of meteorites.
[7] Electroacoustic harpist Andreas Vollenweider asked Pitt to be his manager in 1982 when he wanted to break into the U.S. market.
Paul Simon, James Taylor, Hugh Jackman, Christopher Cross and Elvis Costello have been among those featured.
[17] Pitt went on to curate the first meteorite-only auctions at Bonhams, Heritage, Christie's and "Sotheby's"[18][19][20][21][22] Among those who've acquired specimens with a Macovich provenance are Paul Allen, Steven Spielberg, Shaikh Saud bin Muhammed Al Thani, William Ziff Jr., Jerry Bruckheimer and James Taylor.
[26] Decades later, Apple's legendary Chief Design Officer, Jony Ive, acquired dozens for Christmas gifts.
[28] As a result of the anomaly he noticed in the Willamette meteorite, among the world's most famous, Pitt was credited as a co-author in its reclassification.
