The artwork, titled “Ho! Ho!”, created by Yves Klein in the year 1960, belongs to the Nouveau Réalisme art movement. The medium used for this abstract piece is sponge, and the work measures 57 x 40 cm.
The artwork presents a textured composition, emphasizing a monochromatic scheme in a vivid red hue. The sponges in the piece are arranged in a manner that creates a dynamic and tactile surface, indicative of the artist’s innovative use of unconventional materials. The dense, rough texture of the sponges contrasts with the flat plane of the background, inviting viewers to consider the sensory and physical qualities of the medium. The abstract nature of the artwork leaves its interpretation open to the viewer, aligning with the principles of the Nouveau Réalisme movement.
