An upcoming auction of art from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent will feature Duchamp’s piece Belle Haleine – Eau de Voilette (1921). The piece, which is a perfume bottle with a photo of Duchamp dressed as a woman on it, is estimated to sell for 1 million Euros.
The auction was organized by Saint Laurent’s longtime partner Pierre Bergé following Saint Laurent’s death last year. All proceeds from the auction will go to scientific and Aids research.
