Karl Lagasse, a renowned artist, gained fame in 2009 with his One Dollar sculptures, ranking among the top ten sculptors under 30 in that year according to Artprice. In 2012, the New York publication Farameh named him as one of the fifty best contemporary artists inspired by traditional American icons, in its book FOR WHICH IT STANDS: Americana in Contemporary Art. More recently, in 2016, at the Art Paris Art Fair, the French President warmly congratulated Karl for his impressive two-meter bronze sculpture, One Dollar, exhibited at the Grand Palais.

Karl’s artistic journey began at the age of 7 with collages, spurred by his meeting with sculptor César Baldaccini. He later turned to tagging and graffiti in the Paris metro while remaining passionate about collages. Artist Yvaral Vasarely encouraged him to fuse his tags with his collages. In 2003, Karl prepared his first exhibition in Paris, which led to his first solo show in 2006 at the Isy Brachot Gallery in Brussels. In 2008, he returned to Paris with an exhibition that combined paintings, sculptures, and video elements at the Espace Pierre Cardin.

Karl particularly enjoys unveiling his works at international exhibitions. In 2011, he was represented by Bel Air Fine Art Gallery at the Art Monaco fair with his Cryptogram One creation. The following year, he presented his One Dollar works on the theme “In God We Trust” at the Artco France gallery. His 2016 solo exhibition at the Atrium Gallery in Marbella, Spain, was inaugurated by the mayor, who praised his work in front of international press.

In 2010, he was chosen to represent Deauville at the Horsemania World Championship in Lexington, where he created a horse sculpture for the event. In 2012, he presented Deauville with his Cryptogram One sculpture, a symbolic bronze of peace and love, at the city’s entrance. That same year, in collaboration with Corbis, he built a monumental sculpture for the Cannes Festival, using photographs from 1945 to 2011, signed by personalities such as Alexandra Lamy and Matthew McConaughey.

The artist gained fame in 2009 with his “One Dollar” sculptures, which earned him a place among the world’s top ten sculptors under 30 according to Artprice.

In 2017, he was selected to design trophies for the 43rd American Film Festival. Drawing inspiration from “Cryptogramme One,” he created a polished mirror-finished aluminum trophy displaying messages such as “Hope,” “7e Art,” and “Deauville” on its four faces. For the festival’s 46th edition in 2020, Karl Lagasse received a commission to create a new trophy inspired by a Deauville emblem: the drawing of the barriers that separate the cabines on the Planches.

In 2016, France Culture mentioned Karl in an article about his monumental installation, A Piece of Heaven on Earth, which combines a Maserati wrapped in white plastic and a statue of Jesus surrounded by dollar-shaped sculptures, symbolizing human debt. This work was unveiled at Art Paris Art Fair 2015 in collaboration with Maserati. In 2017, he created the Deauville American Film Festival Trophy, drawing inspiration from his Cryptogram One and adding messages such as “Hope” and “7e Art” on the trophies.
