Comment:“The Old Master and Nineteenth Century Paintings and Drawings section
of the Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé sale set six new world auction records.
The works of art offered, which ranged over four centuries, from the early
16th Century to the early 20th Century, mirrored this unique collection's
breadth and exceptional diversity. Each of the twenty-four works that were
sold today had exceptional provenance and an impressive art historical
pedigree; thus attracting very active bidding from top international
collectors and connoisseurs”, commented Cécile Bernard, Ketty Gottardo and
Etienne Hellman, specialists in charge of the sale.
