Yves Saint Laurent - Bal Masqué

⸻

Yves Saint Laurent (1936–2008)

“Bal Masqué” (Venetian Masquerade Ball)

Limited offset lithography – Seido Paris – No. 286/300
after a design by Yves Saint Laurent, published in France by the Seido Paris Edition.

The work shows two mysterious figures in magnificent Venetian masquerade costumes – a homage to the world of theater, carnival and historical haute couture. Hardly any other fashion designer mastered as deftly as Yves Saint Laurent the art of combining fashion, art and stage aesthetics. His lifelong enthusiasm for opera, theater, historical garments and the Venetian carnival is impressively reflected in this elegant composition.
Edition number 286/300.
Blind stamp “SEIDO PARIS”

While Yves Saint Laurent is worldwide revered as one of the most important fashion designers of the 20th century, his graphic works are much rarer on the art market. Precisely edition sheets with theater- and costume-inspired motifs hold a particular appeal for collectors of fashion, design and French art.
