Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Bergé
Private World
This is not a book about decoration. It is a window into two shared worlds. So writes Pierre Bergé in the prologue to one of the most remarkable documents ever published on the private life of Yves Saint Laurent.
Yves Saint Laurent was more than a clothing designer: he was, for many, one of the great arbiters of style of the 20th century. His talent made him the youngest and brightest star in the fashion firmament, first with Christian Dior, then with the French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. She chose him as her successor, and later in her own right as the shy but daring creator of the modern woman's wardrobe.
His private life was the subject of constant public fascination, and the homes he shared with his lifelong friend and business partner Pierre Bergé were extraordinary private cocoons of taste and style. Ivan Terestchenko’s photographs, taken after Yves Saint Laurent’s death in 2008, capture these exquisite surroundings and cultured luxury for the last time.
Over the course of forty years, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé amassed an exceptional collection of furniture and paintings. It included major works by Picasso, Matisse and Mondrian, old master paintings by Goya, Ingres and Géricault, and masterpieces of furniture, sculpture and silver from the Renaissance to Art Deco. Remarkably, not a single piece of the collection was sold until the year after Saint Laurent's death. A landmark auction sale at the Grand Palais in Paris became legendary months before it took place.
Revealing a rare union of passion, taste and supreme knowledge, this book is a monument to two of the greatest trendsetters of our time.
