Artist KARL LAGASSE
Karl Lagasse, born April 4, 1981 in Paris, is a French artist. He is the creator of the sculpture One Dollar and of the trophy for the 43rd edition of the Deauville American Film Festival.

Artistic career
Karl Lagasse's career began in 1996 with the sale of his first work in Antwerp, at the age of 15[3].
A few years later, in 2003, he prepared his first exhibition in Paris where he presented his works that mix collage and painting, as suggested by Yvaral Vasarely[4], son of the Hungarian sculptor Victor Vasarely, during their meeting in 1998.
He began sculpting in 2004 and found inspiration by watching White Nights[Which ones?]. He then started looking for his style and began the series of the “Buildings”, totem-like works made from several materials. In the same year, he left Paris to move to Normandy.

In 2006, Isy Brachot (a notable Brussels gallery) devoted a show to him. One painting did not sell. Karl Lagasse offered it to a passionate admirer who could not afford to buy it.
In 2008, he returned to Paris to exhibit at the Espace Pierre Cardin. Paintings, sculptures and photographs were shown. A film about the making of the works was also screened.
2009, the year of the creation of one of the artist's most emblematic works, the One Dollar[7]. A work born of his admiration for the United States but also a symbol of what is possible with just one dollar; “Make art with 1$”.

In 2010, he was chosen to represent the Deauville community (Normandy) on the occasion of the world equestrian championship “Horsemania” held in Lexington (USA), a town twinned with the Norman seaside resort, for which he created a sculpture[8].
After the success of the “One Dollar,” which achieved international acclaim, he presented another work that would also become iconic, the “Cryptogram One.” It was at Art Monaco fair in 2011 that the public discovered it.
To celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival in 2012, he created[9] a “Building” of 2.80 m by 60 cm wide in concrete, wood, glass, and photo in collaboration with Corbis and displayed at the Carlton Cinema Club. Artists present at the festival were invited to sign the work and leave a message. Among them were José Garcia, Michel Hazanavicius, Bérénice Bejo, Gad Elmaleh, but also Cuba Gooding Jr., Tim Roth, Matthew McConaughey, and Zac Efron.
