Why is Blue Monochrome famous?
1 Answer
The reason why Blue Monochrome is famous is that it introduced a now-famous color. For the work, painter Yves Klein developed a unique shade of blue. Today referred to as International Klein Blue, it covered not only Klein's canvas in the 1961 work but also adorned the mid-century modern furnishings he designed in the 1960s. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Yves Klein art and furniture.
