Claude Lalanne (Paris 1925-2019 Fontainebleau) Pomme d'Or, 1970 18k yellow gold H 10.5 cm Monogrammed CL, numbered 3/5, guarantee hallmark Provenance: André Mourgues; Alexandre Iolas collection (Alexandre Iolas, a dealer who was a great supporter of the Surrealists and the New Realists) Claude Lalanne's world is poetic. She moulds bodies, leaves, apples and cabbages, then combines them. Her creations include L'Homme à tête de chou, La Pommebouche and L'Escargot doigt. These pieces are dreamlike, reminiscent of the Baroque world. Yves Saint Laurent, one of her most loyal customers, said: "What moves me about her is that she has managed to combine craftsmanship and poetry in the same exacting way. Her beautiful sculptor's hands seem to push aside the mists of mystery to reach the shores of art". This 'pomme bouche' could also be reminiscent of the world of Magritte...

alexander calder
Alexander Calder (Lawnton 1898-1976 New York) Untitled, 1967 Gouache on paper 77 x 110.5 Signed and dated N° Archive A18199 Provenance: private collection, Paris Calder's gouaches are spontaneous and simple, suffused with poetry. A poetry without artifice born from minimal means, such as elementary symbols, basic figures and a palette reduced to primary colours, arranged in solid colours that do not blend with each other. The gouaches are not that different from his "mobiles," except that here, the movement is imagined: a way of projecting time in space. In 1953, Calder moved to Saché where he created "la Gouacherie," where he made all his works on paper until 1976, as well as his mobiles and stabiles. "Alexander Calder possesses a clear gift of observation and the ability to draw a single stroke."
