A devotee of Bulgari, Andy Warhol was an outstanding collector of decorative arts, and had a particular love of jewelry. Of the art jewelry modernists, Warhol collected Boivin, Dusausoy and Cartier, among others, while Bulgari was his favorite contemporary jeweler. Warhol owned Tubogas and Monete jewels by the firm, and was a frequent visitor to Nicola Bulgari's boutique at the Pierre Hotel in New York, as well as their salon in the Via Condotti, Rome.
