Yves Klein would have been 95 years old today 🎈
‘Imp’, ‘Puck’ and ‘Peter Pan’ after meeting him in Paris in 1957, where he fell victim to a characteristically surreal performance by the artist. Klein held a Plexiglas box filled with sheets of gold leaf, which he passed to Buzzati. He then wrote a receipt “for 20 grams of gold in payment for a zone of immaterial pictorial sensibility”. The two traded; Buzzati – as instructed – burnt the receipt, and Klein released the shining stream of gold into the Seine.
This autumn Tate Liverpool brings together major works from Klein’s self-proclaimed ‘ashes’, many never before seen in the UK, to bring the same sense of bewildered disbelief as Buzzati experienced that day 60 years ago. Tamar Hemmes, the assistant curator, observes that Klein’s focus on the immaterial is a vital aspect of his practice, the exhibition highlighting “his aim to revolutionise our perception and experience of art”.
Klein released 1,001 blue helium balloons in St-Germain-des-Près for his solo exhibition in 1957, making it clear that he relished surprising his audience. Drama in all its forms radiated throughout his oeuvre, most notoriously in, where women painted their naked bodies before an audience while a small orchestra played a, composed and conducted by Klein.
Exploring other countries and traditions was important to Klein. He travelled all over Europe, and in 1949 moved to London for several months. While there he worked in a framing shop on the Old Brompton Road, where he first assisted in the preparations of colours. In early 1952, a few years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he travelled to Japan. Despite arriving at a time of immense difficulty, he stayed for 15 months.
