Counting Sheep with "Les Lalanne"

His "Mouton de Pierre," a group of ten painted epoxy stone and patinated bronze sheep, sold for $7,474,500 at a <a href="http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5521330">Christie's</a> auction in 2011.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3OFJ9kRVjV4qy4S9OfbqzULnaWorI0Kq-KPo3Xr9ZjTA8aV-BAtZs0j9xGzWwHuSkyYD5aUQau1Hk27bXu-Xwsz52SP_RHw4HjGd8U1_b1GHF5w7DVOLouXPrnMF6Uqj6I7P4K6ZqTI/s1600/francois-xavier_lalanne_mouton_de_pierre_a_group_of_ten_painted_epoxy_d5521330h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3OFJ9kRVjV4qy4S9OfbqzULnaWorI0Kq-KPo3Xr9ZjTA8aV-BAtZs0j9xGzWwHuSkyYD5aUQau1Hk27bXu-Xwsz52SP_RHw4HjGd8U1_b1GHF5w7DVOLouXPrnMF6Uqj6I7P4K6ZqTI/s640/francois-xavier_lalanne_mouton_de_pierre_a_group_of_ten_painted_epoxy_d5521330h.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the <i><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/14/arts/design/14lalanne.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print">New York Times</a></i>, Lalanne said he "wanted to bring the notion of usefulness to sculpture and to demystify art, which he regarded as a funhouse rather than a cathedral." </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a young man, he briefly worked at the Louvre and on days when the museum was closed, he could not resist the opportunity to climb onto the back of the bull Apis in the ancient galleries. With regard to his own art he explained, "</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just the fact that you can squat on it reduced the risk of this inappropriate devotion."  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lalanne met his future wife Claude Dupeaux when she attended a showing of his portraits and landscapes at a Paris gallery in 1952. For a while the couple created window displays together. One of their clients was the fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who later bought many pieces of the art they made. Said Francois-Xavier and Claude about their creations, "They are not furniture, they are not sculpture - call them '<a href="http://www.artnews.com/2012/04/24/brass-menagerie/">Lalannes</a>.' "</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Francois-Xavier Lalanne died in 2008 at age 81, but his widow Claude Lalanne (born in 1924) continues to produce work in Ury (south of Paris) where she and her husband created art together. Designer Reed Krakoff and architect Peter Marino are two high-profile fans of Lalannes, and photos below feature the works in interiors the two men have designed. <a href="http://www.paulkasmingallery.com/artists/les-lalanne">Paul Kasmin Gallery</a> represents Les Lalannes.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi660bI1Pe7sv69mwcWNlip6eR3q7dj4zoQQlIfxQ3FHoXoosy1cb1APBqTX4oLFPu0qon0xGBC2hocISAJHb_jxbb3pxb5V4zoemQXwcEiO3jemfnWPKJBcbqRTReElVhuv6fURVOkf54/s1600/d5270123l+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi660bI1Pe7sv69mwcWNlip6eR3q7dj4zoQQlIfxQ3FHoXoosy1cb1APBqTX4oLFPu0qon0xGBC2hocISAJHb_jxbb3pxb5V4zoemQXwcEiO3jemfnWPKJBcbqRTReElVhuv6fURVOkf54/s640/d5270123l+(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/furniture-lighting/claude-lalanne-crocodile-banquette-a-gilt-bronze-and-5270123-details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=5270123&sid=ac21b238-cbc5-4011-b43a-96d9df57ba59">Christie's</a> sold <i>Crocodile Banquette</i>, a gilt-bronze and copper crocodile bench designed by Claude Lalanne in 2008 for $482,500 on December 8, 2009.
