Andy Warhol was not only a celebrated pop artist, but an avid collector of various categories, including jewelry. The act of collecting was an intrinsic part of the artist’s life; almost daily he would rummage through antique stores, local galleries, flea markets and auctions to find treasures and bargains. The Tiffany & Co. bracelet (Lot 114) and the Cartier clips (Lot 115) were once part of his personal collection. The quality and design of these pieces reflect Andy Warhol’s keen eye and urbane taste that lives on through not only the art that he created, but the objects he so passionately collected.
