{"product_id":"yves-klein-in-out-studio","title":"Yves Klein: In\/Out Studio","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith rare and unpublished color photographs, this is the new essential Yves Klein overview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis major new Yves Klein overview shows how Klein transformed his life into a myth that blurred the boundary between art and biography. It includes around 300 unearthed archival photographs--many of which are published for the first time--of Klein, his works, and their production. Always an innovator, Klein spanned many mediums, boldly exploring musical composition, sculpture, performance, photography, theater, film and theoretical writing, in addition to the blue monochrome painting for which he is so famed. Reproductions of artworks are interspersed with photographs of and quotations by Klein, guiding readers through a personal history of key works such as \"Leap into the Void\" and the \u003cem\u003eMonochrome and Feuer\u003c\/em\u003e exhibition. Most importantly, this book offers a new look behind the scenes of his performances, uncovers the genesis of his famous \u003cem\u003eAnthropometries\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFire Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e and portrays Klein at work in his studio, in private settings and on his travels. There are also numerous contact prints with lesser-known photos and snapshots that are not among the more famous pictures released for publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike most of his contemporaries, Klein always viewed photography as a lens through which to dramatize his subjects, and chose carefully who could photograph him. The imagery in this monograph blurs the artist's work and life in a way that both maintains and deconstructs the myth of Yves Klein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Nice, France, \u003cstrong\u003eYves Klein\u003c\/strong\u003e (1928-62) created what he considered his first artwork when he signed the sky above Nice in 1947, making his earliest attempt to capture the immaterial. The artist carved out new aesthetic and theoretical territory based on his philosophical and poetic investigations of space and science, and the practice of Judo, which he described as \"the discovery of the human body in a spiritual space.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Distributed Art Publishers (DAP)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50447101493522,"sku":"9781942884095","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_54b50b0e-ec77-4e10-9647-5553ed888294.jpg?v=1729712353","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/yves-klein-in-out-studio","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
