| What's it going to be? Four luxury homes anywhere you choose in the world ..... or this chair? Designed and created by Eileen Gray around 1918, it was one of several hundred objects from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and his companion Pierre Bergé. It sold at Christie's Auction House in Paris for over $28,000,000 - that's twenty-eight million dollars. The three day auction brought in $483,835,144.00, set a world record for the most valuable private collection sold at auction, was the highest grossing sale in Europe on record, and set multiple world records for Impressionist and Modern Art, 20th Century Decorative Arts, Silver, Sculpture and Works of Art. |
