Yves Klein first exhibited this work in May 1957.
Twelve rods are suspended from the ceiling
above a field of blue pigment. Like a painting
with no fixed form, the work unfolds into space.
Klein writes: ‘Pure pigment displayed on the floor
becomes a floor painting rather than a hanging
tableau.’ The colour becomes ‘as immaterial as
possible. The colour itself becomes the attraction.’
Jef Verheyen selects this work for the
Integratie 64 exhibition, which focuses on the
synthesis between the arts.
