Grays’s aluminum “Suspension Satellite” mobile went for 4 times it’s estimate for a tidy $3,851,808.

The YSL collection, also including fine art by masters like Degas and Cezanne, broke the record for most valuable private collection sold at auction and seven world records for artists at auction. Yipes! There must not be a recession in France.
