"A Getty station is not a place you’d expect to see art-world insiders congregating on a beautiful September evening. Yet there they were Monday night on the corner of 24th Street and Tenth Avenue in Manhattan, sipping wine and nibbling on hors d’oeuvres amid the now-defunct gas pumps. The occasion was an exclusive party celebrating the opening of “Sheep Station,” a daring exhibition of 25 epoxy-and-bronze Mouton sculptures by French artist François-Xavier Lalanne (1927–2008)."

"The flock can now be found grazing on a rolling lawn that was erected on-site for the show, organized by dealer Paul Kasmin and real-estate developer Michael Shvo. . . . It was a double-take-inducing display, sort of like a surrealistic petting zoo—only minus the touching, which guards prohibited. Understandable, really: Just one of the iconic sculptures can fetch upwards of $200,000 at auction. And you thought the price of gas was high…."

"The foyer, with its dramatic staircase is handcrafted in plaster. 'It's emblematic of the theme of our home—artisanal craftsmanship combined with warm modernism,' says the fashion designer [Reed Krakoff], who transformed Coach into a global brand and now runs his own flourishing label, Reed Krakoff Collection. He and his wife, Delphine, an interior designer, furnished their entry with a collection of Line Vautrin mirrors, a Marc Newson Lockheed Lounge chair, and a flock of François-Xavier Lalanne's surreal sheep sculptures. The results are so chic that the Krakoffs use the space as far more than a passageway. 'During Fashion Week,' he says, 'we hosted a seated dinner for 30 here.' "

"An antique cabinet creates a grown-up look. For her young daughter's bedroom, designer Julie Charbonneau mixed kid-friendly decor, like a miniature tea set and lamb figurines, with gorgeous French-style antiques and a pretty lamp. It's a look that will last as her little girl grows. The designer created a unique art display by framing a large panel of silk toile and using it as a backdrop for a Peter Rabbit print."

Two of François-Xavier Lalanne’s sheep sculptures.
"French artist François-Xavier Lalanne (1927–2008) is perhaps best known for his sculptures of animals. Just last year, his widow, Claude Lalanne, organized an outdoor exhibition of 25 of his sheep sculptures on the site of a former gas station in New York City. This pair of epoxy-stone and patinated-bronze sheep, being auctioned by Christie’s on December 9, was created by Lalanne in 1979. The sculptures are numbers 153 and 156 from an edition of 250.

Moutons Transhumant (Bebris), 1988.
"Moutons, a herd of 12 sheep and lambs, was first created in 1965, with several updated editions since. The work was created to be something invasive and out of the ordinary,' meant to mock what is traditionally viewed as 'fine art.' Placement in the Palmetum evokes a peaceful, pastoral setting. The art of Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne was at Fairchild [Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida] during the 2010 - 2011 art season. Their art is inspired by nature itself as Claude Lalanne typically uses plant forms in her work and her husband Francois-Xavier used animal forms."
