Chrstie's YSL art auction

Calling all those with hugely expendable incomes and great taste in art!! First, check out this slideshow on the pieces appearing in the auction in their actual setting in YSL's apartment.

Then check out the Christie's web site to find out how much they are expecting each piece to go for. I believe you can also watch the auctions live on their web site. For those of you in the states though this might be in the middle of the night for you. I think the art world is in a frenzy. I will be watching anxiously awaiting women in huge fur coats and obnoxiously colored Kelly bags to clobber one another with their bidding paddles over the Matisse. Can't wait for the results.

I'm off to Orvieto and Assisi tomorrow for the weekend. I am officially proud to announce the return of my camera!!! Expect lots of pictures!

Best, Lauren
