PROVENANCE: Estate of Brigid Berlin
Brigid Berlin was a dear friend of Andy Warhol, who nicknamed Brigid “The Duchess” – it is said that they spoke on the telephone every morning at 9:00 from 1964 until his untimely death in 1987. Brigid had an endearing style that was a cross between her Fifth Avenue upbringing and the downtown art world. An artist in her own right – she mastered the polaroid camera and impromptu cassette tape recordings – with subjects from Lou Reed, Roy Lichtenstein, Dennis Hopper, John Lennon, and Warhol himself. Her photographs were published in 2015 by Reel Art Press in “Brigid Berlin: Polaroids,” and Atlantic Records released her recording “The Velvet Underground, Live at Max’s Kansas City” in 1972.
Brigid was a collector, and her apartment was filled with bespoke pieces of decoupage, porcelain, and silver that portrayed her classic yet whimsical flair. Her New York City apartment was featured in the December/January 2000 issue of the magazine, Elle Decor.
