Pablo Picasso, oil on canvas, Instruments de musique sur un gueridan 1914-1915
Despite the lowest economic dip since 1997, the auction of Yves Saint Laurent's collection of impressionist and modern artworks yielded $264 million on Monday. Although the apparently overpriced Picasso did not sell, artists Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Matisse, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, James Ensor, Piet Mondrain, and Giorgio de Chiricomade all made record-breaking sales. YSL's partner Pierre Berge said he would keep the Picasso for the foundation he established with YSL that generates several cultural projects and contributes to the research of AIDS. Thousands lined up at the Grand Palais in Paris to sneak a peek at the nostalgic art collection-- turning it into a sort of temporary museum. YSL was honored with affection and awe as one of France's greatest (and my personal favorite) artistic influences, especially on the world of fashion. His art collection reflects an era of French prominance in the art world.
