Brigid Emmett Berlin (September 6, 1939 – July 17, 2020), also known as Brigid Polk, was an American artist and Warhol superstar.

In 2008 there was an exhibition of BB's one-of-a-kind New York Post tabloid front cover pillows at the Glenn Horowitz Gallery on East 64th St where prices ranged $10k+

This, unique pillow was previously acquired directly from Richard Dupont, a Warhol associate of Studio 54 fame who lived with BB in the mid-2000s, who remembered her rarely leaving her apartment except to buy yarn.
