CLAUDE LALANNE PIÈCE UNIQUE COLLIER
Claude Lalanne (1925-2019)
Coeur de Marie collier
Galvanized copper
France, c. 1980-1990
In this singular pièce unique, Claude Lalanne immortalizes the fugitive delicacy of the ‘Coeur de Marie’. Using the alchemical sorcery of galvanization, she captures the literal anatomy of the plant, suspending these metallic hearts from a sinuous vine. It is not merely a necklace; it is a fossilized fragment of a dream, a wearable sculpture that vibrates with the romantic surrealism that defined the Lalanne universe.
