展览汇集了伊夫·克莱因短暂而辉煌的艺术生涯的全部轨迹：第一批单色画、著名的蓝色系列、浮雕与海绵雕塑、人体测量学系列、单色金以及他最后的艺术实验——使用自然元素（如火焰、空气和水）进行的创作。他通过这些艺术实践表述了三个主要观念：“单色主义、身体的物质性以及艺术的非物质性。”这些观念是建立在思考两极的动态平衡：“可见的与不可见的、物质的与虚空的、身体的与精神的。”伊夫·克莱因这些独树一帜的作品在短短七年内创作完成，他领先于他的时代，并不断打破艺术的边界，预见且引领了许多未来的艺术发展趋势，至今仍与当下文化艺术发生着持续的共鸣。

It examines three of the main issues present in Yves Klein’s work: monochromatism, the material nature of the flesh, and the immaterial character of art, for Yves Klein’s work rests on a dynamic balance between two poles: the visible and the invisible, matter and emptiness, flesh and the immaterial. “Yves Klein – Painter of Space” is divided into nine sections and presents the entire trajectory of the artist: the first monochrome paintings in color, the famous blue Monochromes, the reliefs and Sponges sculptures, the Anthropometries, the Monogolds and his last experiments with natural elements such as fire, air and water. Constructed in just seven years before his sudden death, Klein’s bold work, which anticipates many later trends and remains fully relevant today.
