Yves Saint Laurent's Lalanne Mirrors to be Auctioned for $15 Million
Yves Saint Laurent's collection of Lalanne mirrors, crafted by Claude Lalanne, is set to be auctioned at Sotheby's with an estimated value of $10 to $15 million. The mirrors, originally commissioned in 1974, have become iconic pieces due to their unique design featuring gilt bronze and electroplated leaves. The current owners, Jean and Terry de Gunzburg, acquired the mirrors in 2009 but have struggled to find a suitable display space. The auction, part of the de Gunzburg's design collection sale, is expected to be Sotheby's most valuable single-owner design sale, potentially exceeding $40 million.
