Yves Saint Laurent's Art Collection

The auction world is holding it's collective breath to see how succesful this sale, in these bleak economic times, will be. We still have a few weeks to go. Here is a story from Forbes on his art collection. An interesting fact from the story is about Southeby's auction last week that I reported on.

"Sotheby's (nyse: BID - news - people ) Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale on Feb. 3 in London fetched just $46 million including commissions, compared with the $230 million the sale hauled in a year ago." The full story here.
