Yves Klein artworks and editions

Yves Klein is one of the pioneering artists of the 20th century. His works have had a lasting influence on the art world. Yves Klein's paintings are always an immersion in a fascinating world of color, space and conceptual art. The French artist was not only a painter, but also a visionary who pushed the boundaries of traditional art and broke new ground, in particular with his famous monochrome artworks and the creation of the unique “International Klein Blue” (IKB).

Initially influenced by judo and spirituality, Yves Klein quickly turned to art and focused on exploring color as an autonomous element. As early as the early 1950s, he began experimenting with monochrome paintings, which would soon become the essential core of his work. He regarded color not only as an optical phenomenon, but as a kind of metaphysical medium that could convey a deeper meaning.

His famous “International Klein Blue”, an intense, ultramarine blue that he patented in 1957, is symbolic of his search for the immaterial. Yves Klein considered blue to be the color of the infinite, of the sky and the sea, and he used it to convey a spaceless, boundless experience to the viewer. Paintings such as the “Blue Monochrome” series show his radical departure from traditional forms of representation in favor of a pure exploration of color and space. Yves Klein's paintings are more than just two-dimensional representations of a single color. They are at the center of his revolutionary idea of art as experience. His works, including the “Anthropometries”, in which he used the female body as a living brush tool to leave blue imprints on canvases, are examples of his performative approach. Yves Klein expanded the traditional concept of art and led art into the realm of action and staging.
