Born in 1928 in Nice and passed away in Paris in 1962, Yves Klein is one of the most visionary figures of twentieth-century art. The inventor of IKB (International Klein Blue), an ultramarine pigment of unique intensity and purity, he made it the vehicle for a spiritual quest and an exploration of the immaterial. His monochromes, Anthropometries, and fire works are all manifestations of a radical artistic philosophy that paved the way for conceptual art and minimalism. His influence on contemporary art remains considerable.
