The works of art collected over the past fifty years by Pierre Berge and Yves Saint Laurent will be sold at auction by Christie's beginning February 23, 2009 at the Grand Palais, in Paris. According to dealers and collectors from all over the world this will certainly be the sale of the century. Our photographer Jean Luc Luyssen has followed and will continue to follow through February 2009 the stages of this historic sale. . (Photo by Jean-Luc LUYSSEN/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images)
