The artwork, “Untitled (SE 288)” by Yves Klein, created in 1958, belongs to the art movement known as Nouveau Réalisme and is a sculpture.
The artwork exemplifies Klein’s innovative use of the color International Klein Blue (IKB), a rich and vibrant ultramarine, which he famously trademarked. The structure is organic and amorphous, conveying a sense of fluidity and movement despite its static nature. Its irregular and textured form, combined with the intense monochromatic blue, creates a captivating and evocative visual experience, emblematic of Klein’s dedication to exploring the immaterial and the infinite through his unique artistic vision.
