## Caption

Valentino Garavani’s eye extended far beyond couture. His private collection traced a direct line through post-war and modern masters — the raw urgency of Jean‑Michel Basquiat, the restless force of Willem de Kooning, the structural genius of Pablo Picasso.
And then there was Andy Warhol — not only collected, but personal. Warhol’s portraits of Valentino stand as a rare crossover where fashion, fame, and fine art collapse into a single image.
This was not decoration, but conviction — a collection built on instinct, intensity, and an understanding that true style is inseparable from art history.
