Profile

With no formal artistic training, Yves Klein began in the mid-1950s to exhibit nonobjective paintings in which a canvas was uniformly covered in a single color, usually blue. In 1958 he produced a near-riot with an “exhibition of emptiness,” an empty gallery painted white, titled "The Void." A member of Fluxus, his experimental works greatly influenced the development of minimalism.
