The Timeless Imagination of Yves Klein: Uncertainty and the Immaterial

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa
Finished

Artists

Yves Klein et al.
This exhibition focuses on French artist Yves Klein, who was active in the 1950s and 1960s, and adds contemporary artists such as the Italian Spatialist Movement and the Japanese Gutai as well as current artists to bring to light the theme of "immateriality" that is common to their art. From the "tabula rasa" (emptiness) of the devastated postwar period, Yves Klein emerged like a comet as an artist in search of a new humanity. He has thoroughly promoted the "dematerialization" of art, which does not depend solely on the materials and supports of his works, and has had a profound influence not only on the artists of his time but also on those of later generations.

The creative explorations oriented toward "immateriality" by Yves Klein and other innovative artists introduced in this exhibition will give us the imagination to overcome the uncertain present faced today.
