Best collection of Yves Saint Laurent auction at Christie's

As predictable by queerblog, the art collection of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent will auction February 23 in the unusual setting of Grand Palais in Paris. Six months after the death of a companion of life and business, Pierre Berge has resolute to sell entire set is not for money, insurance, but because without this Yves has no more reason to live.

And the occasion is enormous, because with its 733 pieces it is the largest group of a single owner not at all went to sale. And a fashion collection built according to criteria of pure excellence because it is "better to have an empty wall that an object, a mediocre".

The words of Saint Laurent says a lot about the quality and selection of works ranging from Greece to masters such as Picasso, Mondrian, Matisse and many others. The collection is expected to 400 million euros. For those wishing to see the estimates or even make a trip in the history of art and decoration, the catalog is available on the website of Christie's. Read more
