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 Postmodernism?
Postmodernism is an art movement that emerged as a reaction against authority and traditional boundaries, seeking to blur the lines between art and everyday life. It aimed to bridge the gap between the cultural elite and the general public by embracing eclectic mixtures of earlier conventions and styles. Postmodernist art often challenges established norms and celebrates diversity, irony, and pastiche, making it a movement that reflects the complexities of contemporary culture.
