We are delighted to present our newest catalogue, Alighiero e Boetti: Embellishing the Sky. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Alighiero e Boetti: Embellishing the Sky, held at the London gallery and curated by Elena Geuna from 19 March to 23 May 2025. Centred on Boetti’s Aerei series, the publication includes a text by Geuna, an interview between Boetti’s collaborator Guido Fuga and Geuna, and a reflection on Ben Brown’s longstanding passion for this conceptually rich body of work. An Italian edition of the catalogue, titled Alighiero e Boetti: Abbellire il Cielo, is also available.

Few artists have made nature stranger, or more exuberant, than François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne. The couple, known collectively as Les Lalanne, first achieved recognition in the 1960s for their surreal approach to sculpture and design. Their work fused animal and plant life with the human body in dreamlike ways: chicken legs sprouting from a head of cabbage, smirking lips cast onto a bronze apple, a blue bathtub in the form of a hippopotamus. “Magritte and Les Lalanne: In the Mind’s Garden,” opening on Oct. 8 at the Upper East Side, Manhattan, gallery Di Donna, stages a conversation between the couple’s sculptures and the canvases of the Belgian Surrealist René Magritte. Organized in conjunction with the London gallery Ben Brown Fine Arts, the exhibition locates a common thread in these artists’ treatment of nature as a key site of transformation and potential.
