Yves Klein, Intime

Hôtel de Caumont, Aix-en-Provence, France

The exhibition "Yves Klein, Intime" presents, for the first time in Aix-en-Provence, some sixty works (of which almost ten were never seen before) by the artist from Nice from a new angle. Until now, attention has rarely been focused on the links between his own life and his bold, radical and broadly accessible creations. By looking back at the artist's family background and circle of friends,...

Yves Klein - Des cris bleus

Musée Soulages, Rodez, France

In 2006, the architect of the "oblique function" Claude Parent remembered Yves Klein:"... It can not be said that he was a tenant of utopia. I think he's an inventor of a different world that has such deep relationships with the past as with what may come next. No chaos at Yves monochrome, but a great desire to invent; the field of the possible is open. Yves Klein stands among the first to put...

Alberto Giacometti, Yves Klein - In search of the Absolute

Gagosian Gallery Londres, London, England

At first glance, Giacometti and Klein, artists born a generation apart, could not be more different: Giacometti was a master of material form, and of the representation of the figure; Klein was an influential theorist whose art married the conceptual with the cosmic. In the 1950s and early 1960s, the two artists lived and worked within a mile of each other, in Montparnasse, Paris, but there are...

Marie Raymond - Yves Klein Herencias

Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid, Spain

 It was an unprecedented exhibition in Spain, because with Klein's works were exhibited not only some photos of his parents: the Dutch post-impressionist painter Fred Klein (1898-1990) and the French Marie Raymond (1908-1989)), which, from a figurative beginning, drifted in the early forties to an abstract expressionism in the wake of the lyrical abstraction of Kandinsky and the painters of...

"A signature, through my body, of beauty and cosmic energy", testimonial from Elena Palumbo-Mosca

Born in Turin, Elena Palumbo-Mosca met Yves Klein when she was an au pair in Nice at Arman and Eliane Radigue because he was a great friend of the couple. She befriended him and was one of his models."When I am asked to talk about my experience as a "model" of Yves, it is not easy for me now to summarize in a few words the ideas and emotions that I found at the time absolutely normal, and even, I dare say it, natural. It was our way of life, experimenting, seeking and trying to understand the...
