Claude and François-Xavier are a magical couple… Together and individually their work reflects this magic - the love, whimsy, the fantasy and the chic. Living with their works is a privilege. It is a constant reminder of instinct, artistry and craft. A wonderland of ideas realized beautifully. A joy. Like their art, they are true originals - Marc Jacobs.
Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition at the FOG Design+Art fair in San Francisco with a solo presentation of sculpture by Les Lalanne, January 11 - 14, 2018. Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s music room (from the designer’s apartment at 55 rue de Babylone, Paris, for which he commissioned over a dozen of Claude’s bronze mirrors) the exhibition brings together works from 1986 to 2017. Highlights include François-Xavier’s ‘Gorille Derange,’ (2007/2010) and Claude’s surrealist ‘Table aux Serpents,’ (2017) which has never before been exhibited in the USA.
