Henri Matisse

Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose, 1911
Oil on canvas 

Algunos de los objetos más queridos de la colección de arte del modisto Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008) salieron a la venta el 23 de febrero de 2009, en la sede de la casa de subastas Christie’s de Nueva York. El cuadro de Henri Matisse titulado Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose,  se ha vendido en 32 millones de euros. Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose, una naturaleza muerta pintada en 1911, superó con creces el precio de salida de la propia casa de subastas, que  había establecido el precio de la pintura de Matisse entre los 12 y los 18 millones de euros. Además de la naturaleza muerta, se han subastado los óleos Nu au bord de la mer (vendido por 7.300.000 euros sin impuestos) y Le denceur, que se colocó por 6 millones de euros. Ha sido la cifra más alta pagada por un Matisse.
