“Untitled Blue Monochrome”, created by Yves Klein in 1960, is an abstract artwork part of the Monochrome works series. Measuring 27 x 46 cm, this piece belongs to the art movements of Nouveau Réalisme and Minimalism.
The artwork is characterized by a solid, rich blue color that covers the entire surface. The absence of any additional visual elements directs the viewer’s attention entirely to the hue and texture of the blue pigment, which is Klein’s signature International Klein Blue (IKB). This piece exemplifies Klein’s exploration of pure color and his attempt to communicate profound expression through simplicity and monochromatic intensity.
