Yves Klein — 'Table rose'
Yves Klein

'Table rose'

A striking example of Klein's exploration of pure color and materiality, "Table rose" presents a luminous field of rose pigment suspended beneath a glass surface, supported by a sleek steel and wood structure. The work extends Klein's celebrated obsession with monochrome beyond the canvas into functional form, transforming an everyday object into a vessel for intense, saturated color. The interplay between the delicate, powdery pigment and the industrial precision of glass and steel creates a tension between fragility and permanence.
