Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original and it fails to fully convey the vibrancy of the IKB pigment. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some tiny spots of burnishing to some of the protruding elements and an uneven surface patina to the base. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

“One day I perceived the beauty of blue in the sponges; this working tool all of a sudden became a primary medium for me. The sponge has that extraordinary capacity to absorb and become impregnated with whatever fluid, which was naturally very seductive to me. Thanks to the natural and living matter of sponges, I was able to make portraits of the ‘readers’ of my monochromes, which, after having seen and travelled into the blue of my paintings, returned from them completely impregnated with sensibility, just as the sponges” (Yves Klein, ‘Notes on certain works exhibited at Galerie Colette Allendy’, in: Klaus Ottmann, Ed., Overcoming the Problematics of Art: The Writings of Yves Klein, New York 2007, pp. 22-23).
