Yves Saint Laurent et Pierre Berge Auction at Christie's

PIET MONDRIAN (1872-1944) Composition avec bleu, rouge, jaune et noir

HENRI MATISSE (1869-1954) Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose


MARCEL DUCHAMP (1887-1968) Belle haleine - Eau de voilette

The much buzzed-about Christie's auction happening in Paris right now [and going through tomorrow] features the personal art collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge and is reportedly the most valuable private collection ever sold at an auction. At least 8 of the works for sale are set at over 5 million dollars! I wish I could be there just to gawk at the array of gorgeous, rare artifacts they collected over the years before it all gets spread around to buyers across world. Check out the link -- you can look through the entire catalog online as well as highlights and prices.
