  • YSL’s private art collection sold


    The art collection of late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent has gone under the hammer and there have been bids in the tune of £181 million for a piece the French couturier’s magnificent art collection. A painting by Henri Matisse which is a part of the collection has been auctioned for a record £31.4 million.

    Cuckoos on a blue and pink carpet smashed the previous record for similar work by the French painter set in 2007. This bid was made on the opening day of the 3 day auction of the collection that belongs to the late fashion designer and his former partner Pierre Berge.

    Who says there is any kind of recession, at least these words are true for the utterly rich people who are willing to spend millions on a painting that would at the most be an object at a famous gallery or their Monte Carlo mansion.

    Is there anything better these people have learnt to do with their money and does it at all make sense to anyone out there that £181 million worth of painting be bought when financial companies across the world are losing such money every month.
