Untitled Blue Plate (IKB 54)

2024

About the Item

The Untitled Blue Plate, (IKB 54), was executed in 1957 at a pivotal moment in Yves Klein’s career, the same year in which he perfected the production of the colour-matter that he would call IKB (International Klein Blue), characteristic of the works of his “Époque bleue” and which would become his signature and the vehicle for his quest for the immaterial. This IKB applied to earthenware emanates a palpable cosmic energy, the experience of infinite freedom. Yves Klein took care to paint the edge to reinforce the diffusion of the pure colour. “The composition, even the texture of my paintings, is texture of the pictorial matter; it must be highly effaced, intensely worked, strong, and serious, in order to permit the display in all its splendor, color.”
