Glitter and Gold-Final Farewell to Yves

Less than four months after the death of the French couturier Yves Saint Laurent, his longtime partner and companion Pierre Bergé announced in September that he intended to sell the art collection that they had compiled over 50 years together.
The three-day sale by Christie's France in collaboration with Pierre Bergé & Associés, Bergé's own auction house, started Feb. 23. Labeled the "sale of the century" it will include over 700 lots with an estimated total value of $255 million to $380 million.
