NOV 30: Les Lalanne at Fairchild
November 2010
When it comes to the work of sculptors François-Xavier and Claude
Lalanne, beloved by such A-list collectors as Marc Jacobs and Peter
Marino, context is pretty much everything. Installed in a home, the
couple’s fly-shaped toilet and rhinoceros desk invoke high
surrealist drama; the bronze sheep that gallerist Paul Kasmin put to
pasture on a Park Avenue median in 2009, meanwhile, felt more kooky in
its incongruity. But simply to appreciate the natural beauty of
zoological tributes like Moutons and Oiseau de nuit (Grand), check out
“Les Lalanne at Fairchild,” opening November 30 at
Miami’s 83-acre Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
