Product Information
Yves Klein’s “Anthropometrie” series gave new meaning to the phrase "body of
art." Under Klein's direction, female models wearing only the artist’s patented
International Klein Blue paint acted as “living paintbrushes," imprinting their
bodies on large sheets of paper. Klein (1928 – 1962) devised the making of these
artworks as a spectacle performed before an audience, who drank blue cocktails
and listened to his "Monotone Symphony," a single musical note played for 20
minutes, followed by 20 minutes of silence.
This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color
accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality
reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art
prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using
a digital or offset lithography press.
About the Artist
French artist Yves Klein (1928 – 1962) created complex, puzzling artworks
often using only one color. Painting monochromes unrestricted by line or form,
he showcased the purity and absoluteness of color. When an exhibition of his
monochromes was misinterpreted, the artist resolved to paint all future works
only in blue, going so far as to patent his own shade, International Klein Blue.
In 2000, Klein’s painting “RE I” sold for an astounding $6,716,000 at
Christie’s.
