About the Item
Indulge in the enchanting world of Claude Lalanne with the exquisite Ginkgo Handbag, a wearable masterpiece from Lalanne's iconic Ginkgo collection. Crafted with unparalleled artistry, this handbag is a testament to the legendary French artist's unique vision and creative prowess.
Claude Lalanne (1925-2019), celebrated for her avant-garde approach to sculpture and design, bestowed the Ginkgo Handbag upon the world in 1989. This wearable objet d'art seamlessly fuses fashion and sculpture, showcasing Lalanne's distinctive style that blurs the boundaries between the functional and the fantastical.
The handbag's pink silk canvas serves as a delicate backdrop for Lalanne's ginkgo gilt bronze designs, each intricately detailed and meticulously executed. The ginkgo leaves, with their timeless symbolism of endurance and longevity, are rendered with a sublime blend of nature-inspired elegance and Lalanne's signature whimsy.
This particular piece is not merely a handbag; it is a limited edition work of art, numbered 60/250 and bearing the esteemed stamp of Claude Lalanne. The authentication is further affirmed by the ARTCURIAL editor's mark, accompanied by the interior label bearing Lalanne's unmistakable signature – Cl. Lalanne ARTCURIAL PARIS. The original box is also included.
Embrace the opportunity to carry a piece of Claude Lalanne's legacy with you, making a bold statement in both fashion and art. The Ginkgo Handbag transcends mere accessory, inviting you to immerse yourself in the world of Lalanne's imagination, where craftsmanship, nature, and avant-garde design converge in a harmonious celebration of wearable art.
