Snake Armchair by Eileen Gray fetched an Auction World Record
Eileen Gray’s (1878-1976) Snake Arm Chair fetched a whopping Euro 21,905,000 ($28,238,277) at Christie’s auction of Yves Saint Laurent et Pierre Bergé’s collection of artefacts on February 25, 2009.
It was reported to be bought by the same antique dealer who sold the chair to Yves in the 70ies.
Thus far it is a world record amount offered for a chair.
