YVES KLEIN

Dear Sophie -

YVES KLEIN was a French artist who was central to the Nouveau Realisme movement in the 1960's which included the artists ARMAN and JEAN TINGUELY. His pioneering works were precursors to the performance and conceptual art movements. International Klein Blue, or IKB was a formula he patented, used for his paintings, sculptural and performance pieces.

With love,

Mom
