The artwork, titled “Untitled White Monochrome,” was created by Yves Klein in 1957. It belongs to the Minimalism art movement, specifically within the abstract genre, and is part of Klein’s Monochrome works series. The dimensions of the artwork are 75 x 54 cm.
In this minimalist piece, the artist presents a completely white canvas, devoid of any discernible subject or pattern. The monochromatic nature of the artwork emphasizes purity and simplicity, inviting the observer to scrutinize the nuances of the white surface. Klein’s use of a singular color challenges traditional expectations of visual art, pushing the boundaries of abstraction and minimalism. This work embodies a significant moment in contemporary art, where the reduction of elements to their most basic form serves to explore the essence of color and its effect on perception.
