A masterwork of Klein's iconic International Klein Blue, this sculpture coats Michelangelo's *Dying Slave* in a deep, otherworldly ultramarine pigment suspended in resin, transforming the Renaissance original into something both ancient and radically modern. The saturated blue absorbs and emanates light simultaneously, dissolving the figure's physical form into pure chromatic sensation. Klein's appropriation elevates color itself as the true subject, suggesting that the soul, like the pigment, transcends the material world.
