Product Description
Book Description
During his all-too-brief career, the French artist Yves Klein created an air of excitement and risk that has rarely been seen before or since. Klein was not afraid to offend or to be oblique; he challenged and questioned everything he encountered, driven by the belief that the truth was his own. The result of this determination was an oeuvre of editions, manifestoes, paintings, and sculptures that were years ahead of their time. This catalogue raisonn exhaustively documents the entirety of Klein's editions with striking color reproductions-the emphasis is, of course, on Klein's unparalleled shades of blue-and an essay by French critic Pierre Restany that rises to the occasion of speaking about Klein's awe-inspiring body of work as a whole.

Ce commentaire est de: Yves Klein: Editions Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
This book is NOT a catalogue Raisonné, that is the only problem with it, otherwise it is a perfectly nice book on Yves Klein, however, a catalogue raisonné is supposed to cover every single one of the works that the artist produced, this book clearly does not and is therefore misrepresenting its purpose.Had I known that, I would not have bought it. Yves Klein has two other catalogue raisonnés published that are far better than this one: Wember, Paul. Yves Klein. Cologne: DuMont Schauberg, 1969. There is another catalogue raisonne out there, published in 2000 in three volumes that looks comprehensive, but I have not seen it in detail.
