The artwork, titled “Untitled Color Fire Painting” and created by Yves Klein in 1962, is part of the Nouveau Réalisme art movement. This abstract piece, measuring 32 x 23.4 cm, belongs to the artist’s series known as the “Fire paintings.”
The artwork features a central, elongated form radiating varying hues of lighter colors, predominantly white and beige, framed within a more neutral, subtle background. The central part of the piece appears to have been subjected to a process reminiscent of burning or scorching, creating intricate and organic patterns. The outer edges are seamlessly blended into the background, offering a sense of depth and transcendence. The minimalist yet dynamic composition evokes a profound sense of energy and transformation, characteristic of Klein’s innovative approach to art.
