Biography:
Yves Klein was a French artist, born on April 28, 1928 in Nice and died on June 6, 1962 in Paris.
In 1954, he turned definitively to art and began his "Monochrome Adventure".
Yves Klein is best known for his ultramarine blue, which he named "IKB" (International Blue Klein).
From his monochromes, to emptiness, to the "living brush technique" or "Anthropometry", to the use of elements of nature to manifest their creative force or gold, which he used as a passageway to the absolute, he conceived a body of work that crossed the boundaries of conceptual, body and happening art.
In 1962, just a few weeks before his death, Yves Klein produced FC1 (Feu Coloré no 1), a work that possesses all the artist's emblematic elements: anthropometry, fire paint, the famous blue monochrome (IKB, International Klein Blue, patented in 1960) and pink pigment.
