Kentucky born interior designer, Jay Spectre, specialized in decorating the homes of his celebrity clientele with his luxurious and eclectic aesthetic. Inspired by Art Deco, Asian and African art, Renaissance architecture and seventeenth century France, Spectre created rich interiors with dimension, scale and texture. A friend of Diego Giacometti's, Spectre made frequent buying trips to France, and would visit Diego each time. The two men shared an affinity for animals and Kentucky bourbon. It was on these visits that Spectre began acquiring works by Diego and assembled them into a lovingly curated collection that he lived with for close to 25 years.
