About Silence Is Golden

“Silence Is Golden” is a 1960 artwork by Yves Klein, attributed to the Nouveau Réalisme movement. This abstract piece, part of Klein’s Monochrome works series, measures 148 x 114 cm.

The artwork is characterized by its singular, vivid golden hue, covering the entirety of the canvas in a uniform, yet texturally rich manner. The surface appears to have subtle variations and nuances, creating an almost tactile depth despite its monochromatic nature. This piece exemplifies Klein’s exploration of color and form, pushing the boundaries of abstract expression. The golden tone evokes a sense of opulence and serenity, aligning with the philosophical implications of “Silence Is Golden” within the framework of Nouveau Réalisme.
