International Klein Blue

Throughout his artistic career, Yves Klein created monochrome canvases that, in his words, “embodied the unity of color, a pure abstract idea that opened up a true cosmos for artist and viewer.” The artist sought the “absolute,” ideal color. In his quest, he combined two desires: to create the perfect color and the desire to “enter” the immaterial. Inspired by the expanse of the sky, a symbol of freedom, Klein ultimately settled on blue and chose it as his primary color. All his works, whether monochromes, exhibitions, or performances, were marked by blue. This color, reminiscent of lapis lazuli, used in medieval painting, became the famous International Klein Blue (IKB, hexadecimal code #002FA7), which he patented in May 1960.
