PARIS — A painting by Henri Matisse sold Monday for $41.1 million — a record auction price for the artist — at an art sale from the estate of Yves Saint Laurent, Christie’s said.
The sale came at the start of a three-day Paris auction of art from the collection of the late French fashion designer.
The sale is expected to gross $250 million to $380 million. A portion of the proceeds will go to support AIDS research. Saint Laurent died in June at age 71 of brain cancer.
