It had only been on for about a couple of weeks at that point.<br /><br /> I went on line and bought the tickets before I left the States and printed them. If you go on www.yslretrospective.com there is an area that will take you to the website where the tickets can be purchased. The website is in French, but I figured it out fine. They are 11 Euros each.<br /><br />The line outside the exhibit was very long. Then there was another line where there was no one. I went to that line first and then presented by printed tickets and I had also printed, and taken along, the other ticket-related paperwork just in case. The guy looked it over, smiled, and removed the rope and flagged my friend and me through. We were the only two people let in at that time.<br /><br />After we finished the exhibit, and went back outside, many of the same people were still standing in line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-15315196466158232562010-03-17T00:18:45.700-04:002010-03-17T00:18:45.700-04:00Saw this last year at the De Young.

I'm going to be in Paris next week, so thanks for that tip regarding tickets. Is FNAC the best place to get tickets? I think I need to see this exhibit.<br />Hope you had a nice time; I'm seriously in need of the whole "spring in Paris" concept, most definitely. And alas -- spring has indeed arrived here in northern Europe, at long last.<br />XO<br />Michael<br />PS: Have you ever been to the Ladurée bar?

Reading that "YSL could be quite cranky and unreasonable at times" sounds like one more real genius a bit too large for people around him too small minded to try to understand. Just looking at the sheer immensity of his Œuvre makes me feel in awe, unable to even imagine how he managed to create so much and of such quality.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-7893646376611230102010-03-15T11:25:37.261-04:002010-03-15T11:25:37.261-04:00Glorious exhibit!Glorious exhibit!BARBARA WEEKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123095711319056949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1166447879508932852010-03-15T10:46:39.907-04:002010-03-15T10:46:39.907-04:00I miss him.
