Art & design styles: from c 1960; Sculpture; Individual artists, art monographs

Francois-Xavier and Claude Lalanne's charming, dreamy, and surrealistic body of functional sculptures, once a guarded secret for Yves Saint Laurent and the Agnellis, is showcased in full in this stunning book.

The legendary husband-and-wife artist team has been the inspiration for high-society collectors and decorators, such as Pierre Bergé, Serge Gainsbourg, Peter Marino, Jane Holzer, and Reed Krakoff for over five decades. Crossing over many audiences – from interior design to fine art to high society, the works of the Lalannes have aspirational yet broad appeal. Their surreal flock of sheep sculpture is now de rigeur for any important collection, while their functional hippopotamus wet bar sells for millions of dollars at auction. Highly collected and promoted by an important group of art insiders, Lalanne works are often the focus of the well-curated room, as seen in many magazine covers. This first English-language book on their work will appeal to decorators, designers, artists, and all those who love beautiful art objects.
