The hybrid, pœtic, surrealist works of Claude Lalanne incite both amazement and fascination. Despite its apparent formal simplicity, the Pomme de New York, a sculpture of spectacular dimensions, magnifies the beauty of the most familiar natural forms, in this case that of the apple. Claude Lalanne uses technical processes including moulding, casting, and electroplating to faithfully transpose the fullness and subtlety of animal and plant forms.
