The artwork, titled “Untitled Blue Monochrome,” was created by the artist Yves Klein in 1955. It belongs to the Nouveau Réalisme art movement and is part of Klein’s Monochrome works series. The piece is abstract in genre and measures 66 x 46 cm.
The artwork features a dense, textured surface completely covered in a consistent and vivid shade of blue, known as International Klein Blue (IKB). The monochromatic composition emphasizes the intensity and depth of the blue pigment, creating a sense of infinite spatiality and purity. The application of the color appears both dynamic and tactile, inviting viewers to engage with the materiality and the emotional resonance of the color itself. This piece exemplifies Klein’s fascination with the notion of immateriality and his innovative approach to color as a powerful artistic medium.
