“Gold Leaf on Panel” is an abstract artwork created by the artist Yves Klein in 1961. It is part of the Nouveau Réalisme art movement.
The artwork features a richly textured surface meticulously covered with gold leaf. The shiny and reflective nature of the gold leaf creates an opulent and visually captivating effect, drawing attention to the interplay of light and shadow across the uneven surface. The application of gold leaf results in a structured yet organic composition, demonstrating a balance between uniformity and natural imperfection. The piece embodies a sense of grandeur and minimalism, with its monochromatic gold palette emphasizing both the materiality and the ethereal qualities of the medium.
