‘Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers’ is published to accompany the first major retrospective of the artist’s work in the United States in nearly 30 years. It includes examples from all of Klein’s major series, including his Anthropometries, Cosmogonies, fire paintings, planetary reliefs and blue monochromes, as well as selections of his lesser-known gold and pink monochromes, body and sponge reliefs, “air architecture” and immaterial works. Essays by curators Kerry Brougher and Philippe Vergne, Klein scholar Klaus Ottmann, art historian Kaira M. Cabañas and curatorial fellow Andria Hickey, as well as archival materials and translations of Klein’s published and unpublished writings, offer insights into the artist’s endeavors and process. Born in Nice, France, in 1928, Yves Klein 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 study of the mystical sect Rosicrucianism, 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.”

Not the greatest photos of the sandals- Milo was really trying to make this photoshoot about him rather than my new shoes.

I am also enamored of this new hooked rug cushion she made:

1. Vintage Plum  2. Attic Emporium  3. Hello Victory  4.  June & Ruby

Thanks again!

Love the newly added jewelry division of this shop.  There’s something about this free hand lampwork that reminds me a bit of Arielle de Pinto’s pieces.  Really lovely.
