Claude Lalanne (1925-2019)
Groiselle Leaf collier
Galvanized copper
France, c. 1980s
Sculpted from botanical memory, this pendant by Claude Lalanne condenses the monumental into an intimately wearable form. Cast in galvanized copper, its silhouette echoes the heart-shaped seed pods that populated her sculptural gardens and jewelry- organic motifs suspended delicately between anatomy and nature.
