Triptych of two screen prints in blue and pink and one print coated in gold foil with gold leaf hand-applied by the artist. - Paper size: 32 x 23.5 cm (each). - With portfolio containing; title page, photographs, reproductions and text by Paul Wember, loose within the original folder - Published by the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, Germany, on the occasion of the exhibition Monochrome und Feuer at the Museum Haus Lange, Krefeld // Yves Klein’s Monochrome und Feuer (1961) is a striking triptych that explores the artist’s deep interest in color, material, and perception. This mixed media work consists of two monochrome screen prints in vibrant blue and pink, accompanied by a central print coated in gold foil with hand-applied gold leaf. The intense, saturated color fields in the blue and pink panels evoke Klein’s signature fascination with pure color, while the gold central panel adds a reflective, textural element, creating a dynamic interplay of light. Klein’s use of gold leaf brings a tactile, almost ethereal quality to the piece, further emphasizing his exploration of immateriality and the metaphysical aspects of art. This triptych was published in conjunction with the exhibition Monochrome und Feuer at the Museum Haus Lange, Krefeld, Germany, marking an important moment in Klein’s career and his pioneering work with monochrome art.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
