Table d’Or
A luminous sheet of 22 carat gold leaf is suspended beneath a glass surface, encased within a sleek framework of Perspex and stainless steel. Klein transforms the functional object of a table into a meditation on pure materiality, allowing the radiant gold to shimmer and shift with changing light. The work reflects Klein's lifelong fascination with immaterial presence, using one of humanity's most ancient and precious substances to evoke a sense of transcendence and infinite depth.
