As the year draws to a close, the success last February of the first round of the Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint-Laurent sale looks increasingly incongruous: was it a bold leap out of the crisis, the sign of a genuine recovery of French art market dynamism… or was it just a one-off event with no particular market significance?
