This catalogue offers a complete overview of Yves Klein’s work and comprehends the most important cycles of his work which, like a meteor, crossed the scene for just a few, short years. A rich documentary apparatus, the color reproduction of all the exhibited works document the artistic journey and the biographic path of the great representative of the aesthetic revolution which took place from the Sixties onward, one of the principal members of Nouveau Realisme, as well as a forerunner of postwar monochromatism.
