“I loved Les Lalanne’s work before I met them,” the gallerist Paul Kasmin swoons about the artistic duo Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, known simply as Les Lalanne. “I loved it even more after I met them.” Kasmin encountered and began representing the duo in 2006, and the last time he showed their work was in 2013, at a Shell Gas station on 10th Avenue: Sheep sculptures were installed on an Astroturf grass pasture, exposed to the elements and the public. This year, he’s tapping into the beloved French sculptors’ more mysterious side by bringing things indoors and recruiting the elusive garden magician Madison Cox to bring to life a maze of an exhibition.
