Les Lalanne at Transamerica Pyramid Center
Reimagining the magical world of the artists’ studio and garden near the Fontainebleau forest in France, Les Lalanne at Transamerica Pyramid Center features over 20 major works spanning four decades installed among the distinctive architectural elements of the park’s urban oasis.Drawing their distinctive imagery from flora and fauna, Les Lalanne’s sculptures create an extraordinary universe that emphasizes the importance of the natural world, transforming earthly references into imaginative creations that meld the elegance of art nouveau metalwork with ambitious sculptural inventions drawn from the realm of mythology. Les Lalanne’s outdoor sculptures epitomize the surrealist methodology of intervening in public space, creating juxtapositions that defy expectations. Set among the historic Transamerica Pyramid and its beloved Redwood Park, the exhibition organized by Kasmin in collaboration with Foster + Partners, embodies the unexpected connections that define today’s urban life force, encouraging audiences to reconsider their daily encounters with art, nature, and the city itself.
