The artwork, titled “Blue,” was created by Yves Klein in 1960. It falls within the Nouveau Réalisme art movement and is categorized as an abstract genre. This piece is part of Klein’s Monochrome works series.
The artwork comprises a central, monochromatic blue form rendered on a neutral background. The blue area, created with Klein’s signature International Klein Blue (IKB) pigment, dominates the composition and exudes a rich, uniform texture. It appears fluid and organic, with drips extending from the bottom, adding a dynamic quality to the otherwise simple and serene form. The juxtaposition between the vibrant blue and the understated background emphasizes the intensity and purity of the color, embodying Klein’s exploration of the immaterial and the infinite.
