Yves Klein’s Monochrome und Feuer, a triptych with blue, pink screen prints, and a gold leaf-coated central panel, exploring color and material.

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 Nouveau Realism?

Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
