The artwork, titled “Untitled Blue Monochrome,” was created by Yves Klein in 1956 and belongs to the Nouveau Réalisme art movement. This piece, measuring 50 x 60 cm, is categorized under the abstract genre and is a part of Klein’s notable Monochrome works series.
The artwork prominently features a bold application of blue pigment, characteristically known as International Klein Blue, spread across a blank canvas. The composition consists of an expansive blue form with irregular edges, creating a striking visual contrast against the white background. The blue pigment appears to be applied with a smooth yet deliberate technique, encapsulating the viewer’s gaze within its intensity and providing a minimalist yet deeply engaging visual experience. This piece exemplifies Klein’s exploration of pure color and its capacity to convey profound emotional and spatial effects.
