Xavier Prou (Né en 1951)

For the past 12 years, the French artist has been working as part of a team in his stylish, multi-functional Paris studio, where exchanges are plentiful and boundaries between disciplines are porous.

Its owner bought the small white animal in bronze, one of Lalanne’s most emblematic works, directly from the artist.

This heartwarming bronze and concrete lamb, an iconic piece by the late 20th-century visual artist and designer, brings his very personal animal world to mind.

Throughout his 60-year career, the French sculptor François-Xavier Lalanne stood out for his quirky, poetic view of the animal kingdom.

Given to Claude Troger by François-Xavier Lalanne's brother, this drawing evokes the emblematic animal of the sculptor's work.

With its head tucked into its ruffle and its distinctive single foot, the wader with its well-known silhouette is much sought after by admirers of the iconoclastic sculptor.

The Brussels-based gallery will exhibit works by the American artist (who died in 1965) at its Art Basel booth next week. The estate of Milton Avery, known for his intimate scenes and still lifes, will continue to be represented by Victoria Miro in London.

Winner of a competition organized by the city of Stockholm, the French artist created two monumental sculptures in sky blue concrete, featuring a sleeping bearded giant and another bust figure. This is the largest public art installation in the history of the Swedish city. 

This urban art sale consecrated the leaders of an art form that has earned its stripes. Blek le Rat topped the list.

This long-forgotten intimist artist was restored to the limelight with an exhibition in 1986-1987 at the Musée Bourdelle in Paris. A reunion with a lover of Cabourg.
