“Yves Klein and the Tangible World” places the spotlight on a unique and powerful aspect of Klein’s work: his Anthropométries.
Lévy Gorvy Dayan presents “Yves Klein and the Tangible World,” focusing on Klein’s art about the human body. It includes nearly 30 pieces like his Anthropométries and Fire Paintings. Klein’s art shows how spirit, matter, and energy connect, capturing life through touch.
The exhibition shows Klein using naked models as “living brushes” to make art, mixing movement and color. Key pieces include Anthropométrie sans titer (ANT 101, 1960) and Peintures de feu, showing creation through destruction. There’s also tactile sculpture and a floor installation of Pure Blue Pigment, showing Klein’s love for color.
The exhibition also has photos, film, and other stuff showing Klein’s art process. Plus, there’ll be a performance of Klein’s Monotone-Silence Symphony at St. James’ Church, New York. Curated with the Yves Klein Foundation, the exhibition adds to Dominique Lévy’s work in keeping Klein’s legacy alive.
