[3] In September 2007, Christie's hosted an auction in New York entitled "European Furniture, Sculpture, Works of Art and Tapestries Including A San Francisco Apartment Designed By Valerian Rybar And Jean- François Daigre", which realised a total of $3.9 million.

[6] In 1977, The Washington Post reported that Rybar's dressing room was "fanatically neat" and included 150 shirts, 40 seasonal suits (all beige), 100 belts, and "a steel banquette covered in handpainted ponyskin that goes up and down electrically and can be a massage table, an ironing board or a place for packing."
