Exploring Yves Klein’s Tactile Sculptures and Paintings in a New Exhibition at Lévy Gorvy Dayan

Yves Klein and the Tangible World is an exhibition currently being hosted by Lévy Gorvy Dayan until Saturday, May 25, 2024. Curated in partnership with the Yves Klein Foundation, this exhibit showcases nearly 30 examples of Yves Klein’s unique approach to engaging the body in his artwork.

The exhibition features a variety of works including Anthropométries (1960–62), Peintures de feu (Fire Paintings, 1960–62), and Sculpture tactile (Tactile Sculpture, created around 1957). This is the first time these works have been displayed together in such a focused manner, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Klein’s artistic vision and processes.

In addition to the exhibition, there will be a special film screening on May 1st. The film, Yves Klein Monotone-Silence Symphony, will provide additional context and insight into Klein’s artistic vision and processes. Visitors are encouraged to attend the screening to further their understanding of the artist and his works.
