Yves Klein is an influential French conceptual artist who works in a wide variety of fields. Arguably best known for his use of a very vibrant shade of blue, he began to create his monochrome series in the 1950s by developing and patenting his own signature shade known as IKB or International Klein Blue.
Born April 28, 1928 in Nice, the artist founded the New Realism movement with the art critic Pierre Restany in Klein's Paris apartment in 1960. The other members are Arman, Jean Tinguely and François Dufrêne. His concept art / performance mix contrasts with the expressionism and early Pop sensibilities of other artists of the time, some of his most famous works feature nude mannequins who act like living brushes to paint canvases with his blue pigment in the Anthropometries series. The artist's short but prolific career ended on June 6, 1962, when he died of a heart attack at the age of 34.

Yves Klein
French artist Yves Klein is best known for his trademark ultramarine pigment, which he patented as International Klein Blue in 1961. “Blue … is beyond dimensions, whereas the other colors are not,” he said.
“All colors arouse specific ideas, while blue suggests at most the sea and the sky; and they, after all, are in actual, visible nature what is most abstract.”
Starting in the mid-1950s, Klein made retinal blue monochrome paintings (which would prove cornerstones of Minimalism) and the pigment would also feature prominently in his Anthropometry paintings, for which Klein smeared nude women with blue pigment and used them as human brushes on canvas, sometimes in elaborate public performances. Klein's work anticipated Conceptual art, performance art and environmental art, as in his selling of portions of empty space to collectors. For The Void (1958), he presented an empty gallery as an artwork, wearing a white tie and tails to show visitors around the blank walls.
