Note du spécialiste

This work is registered in the Yves Klein Archive under the archive number IKB277.

'I seek to put the spectator in front of the fact that colour is an individual, a character, a personality. I solicit a receptivity from the observer placed before my works, this permits him to consider everything that effectively surrounds the monochrome painting. Thus he can impregnate himself with colour and colour impregnates itself in him. Thus, perhaps, he can enter into the world of colour'
(Y. Klein, quoted in S. Stitch, Yves Klein, Cologne 1994, p. 66).
