Strong Asia presence at Saint Laurent auction

From:   www.afp.com
Buyers from Asia purchased all but one of the top 10 priciest items at the sale of the last belongings of late couturier Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge, Christie's said Friday. As the four-day sale wound up, the auction house said that though only five percent of the bidders were from Asia, they accounted for 32 percent of the total raised at the auction -- which fetched 8.99 million euros (13.3 million dollars). Countries concerned were China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, said Christie's, which refused to identify buyers. Buyers from those countries bought nine of the most expensive items, ...

Saint Laurent's last belongings sold at auction

From:   www.afp.com
From pots and pans to antique chandeliers, the last belongings from the homes of Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge went on sale Tuesday, with the late fashion icon's bulldog looking on. The celebrity bulldog, Moujik, joined scores of dealers and well-heeled seekers of YSL memorabilia for the four-day auction held in a Paris theatre just off the Champs Elysees boulevard. "I'd like to have something that belonged to them in my home," said blonde Italian retiree Giuliana Giovannelli, hunting for something to distinguish her Parisian flat. "But nothing too expensive." It was a slow start for some of the more expensive ... Read Full Story

Yves Saint Laurent's everyday knick-knacks up for grabs

From:   www.afp.com
After auctioning a highly valuable art collection amassed over half a century, Pierre Berge, partner of late pantsuit pioneer Yves Saint Laurent, is putting everyday pieces up for sale this week. Last February's 700-item sale of the YSL/Berge collection smashed record on record, netting 342 million euros (491 million dollars) and making Saint Laurent the top-earning dead celebrity of 2009, according to Forbes which placed him ahead of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. This week's sale, starting Tuesday and running over four days, bears little comparison with the first instalment, said to be the biggest private art sale in history. Taking in items ranging ...

St Laurent's country hideaway revealed before sale

From:   www.afp.com
A billiard table, several giant chandeliers, and even pots and pans; items from Yves Saint Laurent's private country hideaway went on show ahead of the second instalment of this year's record-smashing YSL-Pierre Berge "sale of the century". In all, 1,185 items go under the hammer at a giant four-day auction starting November 17 that winds up with the sale of the late fashion designer's last Mercedes-Benz automobile and Hermes luggage.

Tom Ford: Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé ‘Were So Evil’
"I don’t even remember much about my time at Yves Saint Laurent, though I do think some of my best collections were [there] — other than that black-and-white initial one. That one wasn’t very successful and wasn’t very good. But being at Yves Saint Laurent was such a negative experience for me even though the business boomed while I was there. Yves and his partner, Pierre Bergé, were so difficult and so evil and made my life such misery...
