Yves Saint Laurent’s Art Collection Memorialized in Book

31 sec read

The three-day auction for the late Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s renowned art collection was one of the grandest events this year. With items like a single Matisse painting selling for a record $40 million, the legendary designer’s grand taste was far out of reach for most fans.

However, everyone can still get in on the action without shelling out the big bucks to have the actual items. Thames & Hudson has published a beautiful “coffee table” book displaying the expansive collection in their original location, the designer’s home.

The photographic record of the now-scattered collection is descriptively entitled The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge and contains a foreword by Berge himself. For around $85, you can have a little YSL style in hardback for your home.

You might not be able to accessorize an outfit with it, but it will definitely provide inspiration.
