Né en 1930, Pierre Restany est critique d’art, philosophe et commissaire d’exposition. Sa vie a été faite de rencontres passionnées avec des artistes, notamment Yves Klein en 1955 par l’intermédiaire d’Arman. En 1960, il publie le premier Manifeste du Nouveau Réalisme en prévision d’une exposition à la galerie milanaise Le Noci et fonde en 1961 la galerie J. Restany participe à de nombreuses recherches qui l’entraînent à publier divers ouvrages. De 1999 à 2003, Pierre Restany préside le Palais de Tokyo.

‘Blue, for him, represented revelation. It was the support for his unformulable intuitions, the medium of his great emotions. It was also the image of the firmament, of the infinity of worlds, the call of the immaterial dimension of the universe.’

—Pierre Restany, of Yves Klein

“… L’opera d’arte perde ogni forma di controllo e non è soggetta ad altro che all’urgenza espressiva del suo creatore. Essa diviene un atto sempre più gratuito, minacciato di automatismo e privo di significato per gli altri. Il processo di degradazione si accentua vieppiù a causa della rispettiva autonomia delle diverse strutture ontologiche e questo, al limite, rimette in discussione il predominio esercitato dall’affettività creativa sui vari ordini psicosomatici di esecuzione. La fenomenologia dell’atto creatore degenera, è ridotta a esecuzione di un comportamento riflesso generato da uno stimolo emotivo. ….”

‘He opens the way for the greatest hopes. He recharges our feelings, sharpens perceptions. Thru his message we‘re no longer passive playthings of events; we feel differently, see better, on a larger scale; conjugate life in the future’
