Známý se stal především svými monochromními obrazy, na nichž aplikoval temně zářivou ultramarínovou barvu. Byl vizionář; podle jeho představy mělo umění v lidstvu probudit senzualitu, která nastolí na Zemi nový, spravedlivý řád. Měl vliv na umění 2. poloviny 20. století. Wikipedia

Yves Klein: Citáty anglicky

“Friday, 14 March”

In 1952; p. 21
before 1960, "Yves Klein, 1928 – 1962, Selected Writings"

“At present, I am particularly excited by 'bad taste'. I have the deep feeling that there exists in the very essence of bad taste a power capable of creating those things situated far beyond what is traditionally termed 'The Work of Art.'”

I wish to play with human feeling, with its 'morbidity' in a cold and ferocious manner. Only very recently I have become a sort of gravedigger of art (oddly enough, I am using the very terms of my enemies). Some of my latest works have been coffins and tombs. During the same time I succeeded in painting with fire, using particularly powerful and searing gas flames, some of them measuring three to four meters high. I use these to bathe the surface of the painting in such a way that it registered the spontaneous trace of fire.

After the opening of his unsuccessful exhibition at Leo Castelli's Gallery, New York 1961, Klein stayed with Rotraut Uecker (fr) at the Chelsea Hotel for the duration of the exhibition. While there, he wrote the 'Chelsea Hotel Manifesto', a proclamation of the 'multiplicity of new possibilities'
