The art collection belonging to the couturier Yves Saint Laurent – who passed away last June – and his partner Pierre Bergé will be auctioned in February 2009. Led by the auction house Christie’s in association with the auction house Pierre Bergé, the sale will take place in Paris.
The collection of both art lovers gathers Primitive arts, enamels, statuettes of the Renaissance, Art Deco furniture and a range of contemporary artists and Old Masters that includes Picasso, Warhol, Mondrian, Matisse and Goya… Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé took more than 40 years to collect these works.
