About Untitled Drawing

The artwork, titled “Untitled Drawing,” was created by Yves Klein in 1959. Associated with the Nouveau Réalisme art movement, this abstract piece reflects Klein’s distinctive artistic style.

The artwork consists of a simplistic yet profound composition, featuring a patch of Klein’s iconic International Klein Blue in the lower left corner. Adjacent to this blue square, the artist has included a round patch of gold leaf, which intricately contrasts with the vivid blue. Handwritten text, presumably by Klein, is scattered across the artwork, adding a personal and enigmatic dimension to the piece. The use of bold colors and the texture of the gold leaf are characteristic of Klein’s exploration of color and material.
