The artwork titled “Anthropometry” was created in 1960 by Yves Klein, a notable figure in the Nouveau Réalisme art movement. This piece belongs to the “Anthropométries” series and is categorized under the abstract genre.
“Anthropometry” features expressive blue imprints on a neutral background. The artwork is distinguished by its use of live models who, coated in Yves Klein’s signature International Klein Blue (IKB) paint, pressed their bodies against the canvas to create vivid, spontaneous marks. These abstract imprints capture dynamic movement and human form in an innovative manner, showcasing Klein’s avant-garde approach to the physicality and presence of the human body in art.
