The artwork “RE 11” by Yves Klein is a notable piece within the Nouveau Réalisme movement. This abstract work, which belongs to the artist’s Monochrome series, measures 200 x 165 cm.
The artwork exhibits a striking monochromatic blue palette, a hallmark of Yves Klein’s signature color, International Klein Blue (IKB). It presents a textured surface with various spherical forms emerging from the background, creating a sense of depth and tactile engagement. These elements are distributed across the canvas, demonstrating a refined simplicity that emphasizes color and texture over representational forms. The bold, rich hue and its palpable material presence invite viewers into a contemplative reflection on the immateriality and boundless nature of color itself.
