Claude Lalanne's unique “Nenuphar” console table, the centerpiece of the Sydell Miller collection, demonstrates that throughout his career, the artist has sought to find the poetic in the functional, the beautiful in the bizarre and the unusual in the ordinary, transforming the everyday environment into a world of art.Claude would take a water lily or a twisted branch - and completely transform them, turning organic matter into a kind of functional sculpture completely unique to Les Lalanne.The current consoles, as subtle as they are intricate, as graceful as they are grand, fully reflect the visionary eye of their patron.Not only do they serve as the through-line of some of the most celebrated works in Miller's collection, but they also reflect her insistence on finding beauty in every object in her home, from the paintings on the walls to the consoles that held her everyday flowers.https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2024/a-legacy-of-beauty-the-collection-of-sydell-miller-evening-auction/a-unique-nenuphars-console-table-2
