Yves St Laurent saves the art market

The results are in from the first and most important round at Christie's auction of Yves St Laurent's art collection. The first night's totals brought in 264 million dollars and records were set for Matisse, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, James Ensor, Piet Mondrian and Giorgio de Chirico.

De Chirico, the Italian futurist has long been one of my personal favourite artists and I am glad to see he is finally getting the market recognition that his work deserves. Below is his record setting piece "At the Conservatory"



On the Christie's website you can browse the collection and get the auction price. Below is the link to the New York Times piece on the Auction.
