The "Listening Chair"

"A leather armchair once owned by Yves Saint Laurent fetched
21.9 million euros, or $28 million, at the second night of Christie’s
auction of Mr. Saint Laurent’s art collection. The price made the chair
the most-expensive piece of 20th-century design sold at auction. The
buyer was Cheska Vallois, the dealer who sold it to the French designer
in the early 1970s.


Why so much? The Art Deco chair is a rare masterpiece made by French designer Eileen Gray around 1917 to 1919."

Opps! Looks like I got the phone number wrong. Now where and how do I come up with $28 million?
