Claude & François-Xavier Lalanne
Signed by both François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne, this book documents the first monographic exhibition in the United States dedicated to the work of the husband-and-wife artist team, known collectively as “Les Lalanne.” Presented in 2006 by Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York, it traveled to Ben Brown Fine Arts in London the following year. The handsome book chronicles the full range of the couple’s imaginative sculpture and industrial design and includes numerous photographs of the ingeniously whimsical, stylish animal- and plant-inspired works in their studio, gardens, and domestic interiors. A foreword by Adrian Dannatt includes a conversation with the artists, and essays by Pierre Bergé, Reed Krakoff, and Peter Marino offer further insights into their work.
