Books : Arts & Photography : Artists, A-Z : ( J-L ) : Klein, Yves

The first complete collection of the major writings of the visionary French conceptual artist YVES KLEIN to be published in English translation. Klein was an artist with a keen philosophical mind, yet deeply spiritual. In his art and in his writings he constructed a vision of the future art that would purify the soul from the ashes of his painting. Translated, with an introduction by KLAUS OTTMANN

Developed at the tail-end of the abstract expressionist movement, colour-field painting is distinguished by pure, unmodulated areas of colour, flat, two-dimensional space, and large, often irregularly shaped canvases. The genre is often associated with American painting, but was actually embraced by an international group of artists. Four of the most exciting of those practitioners are the focus of this penetrating study. Michael Auping sees the work of each of these artists as representing a different stage in the development of abstract painting in the 1950s and 1960s. He comments, "To my mind Rothko draws back the curtains, if you will, on the opening up of this space. Newman emphatically 'declares' an almost totemic space, while Fontana literally slices through the picture's plane with a razor, and Klein, as he pronounced it, leaps into the void." Illustrated with colour images of the artists' seminal works, "Declaring Space" shows how each painter made his own individual mark in a new realm of abstract art.

Yves Klein (1928-1962) conquered the world of art, declaring that "a new world calls for a new man". His idiosyncratic style and huge charisma set him on a youthful career in the great art capital, Paris. Soon his famous blue pictures, large-format canvases conceived as spaces for meditation, were making him a name far beyond France. In a short but intense creative life of just seven years, Klein painted over a thousand pictures which are among the classics of modern art. This book offers a sample of his work.

Description: Yves Klein: Air Architecture is not about Leap Into the Void, the 1960 photograph of Yves Klein diving out the second story of a building. Rather, it presents the architectural projects and theories of the French conceptual artist in the context of current tendencies toward immateriality in architecture, design, and art. This volume includes reproductions of drawings and other works from the Yves Klein Archive in Paris, as well as essays offering both historical and contemporary perspectives on the artist's work. This will be the first publication and accompanying exhibition focused solely on this body of Klein's work. Also included are the first English translation of Klein's lecture at the Sorbonne in 1959, along with related writings. Essays articulate the importance of Klein's work on the subject of immateriality and cite the evolution of this idea from the 1950s through today. A visual essay illustrates this evolution with examples of works by late modern and contemporary architects, designers, and artists.

In this substantial volume, the works of the infamous mid-century French visionary artist, Yves Klein--famed for having been photographed jumping off a wall, "into the void," with his arms outstretched as he moved rapidly towards the pavement, as well as for having claimed and patented his very own shade of the color blue--are presented alongside paintings by the artist whose work influenced him most profoundly: his mother, the bold abstract painter Marie Raymond (1908-1972). Presented here for the first time together, the works of mother and son testify to the intensity of the pair's filial relationship, as well as to the depth of their artistic exchange. Also features a selection of paintings by Klein's father, the Abstract Figurative painter Fred Klein, as well as documentary photographs from the 1920s through the 70s.

Translated by Andrea Loselle. With an introduction by Klaus Ottmann. RESTANY's groundbreaking, exegetic study show show the myth of fire was the culmination of the artist's quest for the immaterial. The visionary French conceptual artist and "painter of the Void" Yves Klein (1928-1962) was an artist with a keen philosophical mind, yet deeply spiritual.

Yves Klein was regarded as a visionary even by his contemporaries. An enfant terrible and outstanding judo enthusiast whose spectacular performances attracted considerable attention in the art world, Klein created a following that only intensified in the wake of his premature death. Having anticipated numerous movements such as Happenings, Performance, Land and Body Art, and Conceptual Art, Klein's manifold oeuvre, realized within a period of only eight years, continues to exercise a decisive influence to this day. This comprehensive retrospective, presented by the Schirn Kunsthalle gallery in Frankfurt, includes over 100 works representing Klein's entire career from his first monochromes in orange, yellow, green, pink, black, and white, to his famous Klein blue monochromes, his sponge relief sculptures, his much-discussed Anthropometries, for which he used female models as live brushes, his monogold paintings, and his last experiments with fire and elements of nature.

In 1957 Yves Klein took out a patent on a certain blue, an intense brilliant ultramarine which he called International Klein Blue. His apparently identical monochrome paintings were made with sponges or rollers or in a series known as Antrhopometries, with what he called 'living brushes'--models soaked in blue paint who pressed themselves against sheets of paper.

David Sylvester has chosen texts by the Chinese sage Chuang Tzu to accompany works on paper by Newman, Beuys, Twombly, Klein, and Johns.
