Last night, I went to the exhibition opening of the Gunter Sachs Collection at Sotheby’s.
The art collection of famous German multimillionaire Gunter Sachs, who committed suicide at his chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland, at the age of 78, last year and who was once married to style icon Brigitte Bardot, will be sold at a Sotheby’s auction in London on May 22 & 23, 2012.
The 300 items are ranging from Pop Art works to Art Deco furniture, including paintings by Andy Warhol, Yves Klein and Mel Ramos, to name a few.
Sachs, one of the last great “playboys” and famed for his jet-set lifestyle, was friends with many famous artists.
