Catalogue Note
"With the sponges, savage living material, I was able to create portraits of the audience of my monochromes, who, after having seen and traveled into the blue / pink of my paintings, reemerge immersed by their sensibility just like sponges." (Yves Klein in 1959, as quoted in Rotraut Klein-Moquay and Robert Pincus-Witten, Yves Klein USA, Paris, 2009, p. 23)
