Description

FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE (French, 1927-2008)
Rhinocéros mécanique, 1980
Patinated copper
9-1/2 x 21-3/4 x 6-1/2 inches (24.1 x 55.2 x 16.5 cm)
Ed. 2/2
Stamped inside hinged head panel: 2/2 FXL 80



Condition Report*: Copper has a rich patina though somewhat uneven, common with similar works by Lalanne. All over the surface, there are marks of the working process, indicative of the artist's technique. A few welds and rubbed areas on the feet and head appear brighter than the remainder of the work, but don't appear as repairs or anomalies, just worked areas by the artist. Additionally, there are a few minute areas of light dustsoiling, very minor oxidation at seams/hinges, and small accretions on the hump near the ears. The hinged head door rests slightly ajar. All hinges, seams, welds, hardware and interior plates are in good working order as is the overall condition of the copper and sculpture itself.
