“Globe Blue,” created by the avant-garde artist Yves Klein in 1957, is a sculpture that forms part of the Nouveau Réalisme art movement. This piece belongs to Klein’s “Multiples” series.
The artwork depicts a globe meticulously coated in Klein’s signature ultramarine pigment, famously known as International Klein Blue (IKB). The sculpture is characterized by its bold monochromatic hue, which envelops both the globe and its supporting stand. The textured surface of the globe adds depth and dimension, enhancing the vibrancy of the blue pigment. The elegant simplicity of this piece reflects Klein’s exploration of pure color and form, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking work of art.
