Worldwide Limited Edition Yves Klein, Ours Pompon in resin with IKB pigments

2022

About the Item

Original Limited Edition Worldwide Yves Klein Ours Pompon, sculpture in resin with IKB pigments under Plexiglas, signed, titled and numbered, from 2022 Yves Klein tirelessly sought the essence of art and wanted to expose its immateriality. The artist thus found in sculpture a true space of freedom where the monochrome impregnates the space in three dimensions. In 1962, Yves Klein covered universally admired masterpieces with his IKB blue: the Venus of Alexandria, the Victory of Samothrace or Michelangelo's Dying Slave. They then become incarnate objects, sensitive presences. In 2022, 100 years after its success at the Salon d'Automne, François Pompon's White Bear ( Ours Pompon ) meets Yves Klein's Blue. One captured the essence of form, the other that of color and beyond, the essence of art. The art of reality, of freedom, of life. Important : This splendid orignal and authentic edition was handmade by French artisans out of respect and passion for the living heritage. The work has been executed without interpreting, without damaging, without altering, with respect and admiration of the original work.

The artists : For lovers of the Art Deco period, the French artist François Pompon is no longer to be presented. Born in 1855 in Saulieu, in the Morvan region, in the heart of Burgundy. At the age of fifteen, he was apprenticed to a marble cutter and attended evening classes at the École des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, then the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He then worked as a practitioner for other sculptors, including Auguste Rodin (for whom he became head of the workshop) and Camille Claudel. In 1905, François Pompon definitively opted for animal beauty and the simplification of forms. In 1922, it is the glory: he presents to the Salon d'Automne "The White Bear". Success never left him. When he died in 1933, François Pompon bequeathed nearly 3000 works to the State. They can be admired in Dijon, Saulieu, in Paris at the Musée d'Orsay. His achievements will have brought animal sculpture into the era of modernity. Like François Pompon, Yves Klein was a leading figure in his time. He tirelessly sought the essence of art and wanted to expose its immateriality. The artist thus found in sculpture a true space of freedom where the monochrome permeates the three-dimensional space. In 1962, Yves Klein covered universally admired masterpieces with his IKB blue: the Venus of Alexandria, the Victory of Samothrace and Michelangelo's Dying Slave. They become incarnate objects, sensitive presences.
