An exhibition titled “Yves Klein and the Tangible World” is currently running at Lévy Gorvy Dayan until Saturday, May 25, 2024. The show explores the unique approach of French artist Yves Klein in engaging the body in his artwork.
Curated in partnership with the Yves Klein Foundation, the exhibition features nearly 30 examples of Klein’s Anthropométries (1960–62) and Peintures de feu (Fire Paintings, 1960–62), as well as Sculpture tactile (Tactile Sculpture, created around 1957). This is the first time these works have been displayed together in such a focused manner.
Visitors can also attend a special film screening on May 1st to gain additional context and insight into Klein’s artistic vision and processes. The film, “Yves Klein Monotone-Silence Symphony,” will provide further understanding of the artist and his works.
