I initially thought that the reason in themselves works in people's desire to secure the money, etc. but the course will only buy from a name couturiers and most of the final price is the sum of the words "prinadllezhalo Yves Saint Laurent" ... strange, to be honest))

We have a new owner to declare that he can offer them to the Chinese to buy, say, half, and still declare a national campaign to raise funds (for the dollar from the nose), and now this, "and the wolves are intact, and the sheep are fed."

  Know the name of the owner of a private collection, which was exhibited on the auctions, can double the cost of collections offered for public auction, according to well-known collector Vladimir Tsarenkov, who has represented the family of Rostropovich-Vishnevskaya in the sale of their collection in 2007.
Pierre Berge - partner and heir to the couturier - knowingly put their general meeting at a public auction, preferring to "sale at retail" the transfer of the entire collection to the museum or collector, to the greatest possible number of collectors have become owners of the meeting. "
However, Berger admitted to reporters earlier that during the bidding had exceeded his highest expectations and the auction confirmed that "despite the difficult economic conditions, the greatest works of art will always be in the price and find their buyers."
According Tsarenkova, Russian representatives also participated in the auction in the Grand Palais, and even to buy something, but for most "items that they would like to purchase, cost too expensive
Auction 700 works of art from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge, which was held at the Paris Grand Palais, from 23 to 25 February, brought a 374 million euro and set a world record price for the sale of private collections.
A little history:

Items from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent, which was sold for a record sum of 374 million euros from 23 to 25 February at the Paris Grand Palais, were bought by private collectors, not dealers for resale, said the head of the international department of Russian art, Christie's Alex Tiesenhausen.
Usually, the landmark works of art are bought at auction by professional dealers with a view to resale.
"It is with great certainty say that, despite the crisis, things from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge did not return to the market at least two or three years", - explained Tiesenhausen.
The interviewee continued that for 25 years in the auction business, he has never seen such a frenzy that he observed in Paris at the auction in the Grand Palais.
"It was a lot of people had gathered at the first auction of 1.2 thousand customers in the room and worked ceaselessly 150-200 phones," - noted Tiesenhausen.
"Saint Laurent was a famous man, and the whole world knew that he was collecting rare things, but, nevertheless, no one saw his collection." Tiesenhausen noted that high prices can be explained by the fact that the objects of art from the collection of the designer kept secret - not exposed, not published catalogs, and "only rumors about the meeting."
"If you reveal previously unknown collection, they are always waiting for response. The mystery has always attracted", he explained.
