The artwork, titled “Untitled Blue Monochrome,” was created by Yves Klein in 1957. It is associated with the Minimalism and Nouveau Réalisme art movements. The abstract piece measures 16 x 41.5 cm and is part of Klein’s renowned Monochrome works series.
“Untitled Blue Monochrome” presents a uniform field of deep blue, characterized by its intensity and richness. The monochromatic color scheme renders the artwork both hypnotic and serene, inviting viewers to delve into the nuances of the singular shade. Klein’s exploration of the color blue, particularly his signature International Klein Blue (IKB), underscores his innovative approach to material and conceptual artistry. The texture within the solid blue expanse subtly varies, offering depth and a tactile quality to the overall composition.
