Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge Collection, by Christie's 2009
About the Item
A collection of historic documents of the greatest, most secret and legendary
collections formed by private collectors in the 20th Century.
The set of Auction Catalogs also includes a DVD of the entire collection.
For fifty years, the couturier Yves Saint Laurent and his friend and partner
Pierre Berge were legends in the international worlds of fashion and contemporary culture.
YSL fashion conquered the world and defined the way two generations of
women dressed. Pierre Berge, a consummate businessman, not only supported
YSL commercially, but at the same time became a major figure in his own right in the world of contemporary French culture, a noted patron of literature, music
and the arts.
But as the fame of Yves Saint Laurent's fashion label and his perfumes grew, very few other than their close friends knew that slowly, privately, they were also assembling a visionary collection, one that knew no rules of taste and category. As you will hear in the exclusive interview on this DVD, Pierre Berge makes the point that they bought what they loved and admired, spanning many
centuries in time. The extraordinary works of art in this collection represent
cultures freom the ancient to the modern age.
The Collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge is a distinguished and
glorious chapter in the history of highly personal great collections.

Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997
Located in San Francisco, CA
Abr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the
Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central
Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself
proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of
Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the
Ferghana Valley.
The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony;
their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the
generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and
receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without
sacrifice of artistry.
In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into
winter and summer...
