Author: Klein, Yves
In 1958, Yves Klein held an exhibition in Paris’ Iris Clert Gallery titled "The Void” in which he removed all of the art from the walls and display cabinets and repainted the white space. Two years later, Klein’s close friend/colleague Arman occupied the same gallery space with an exhibition titled “The Full-Up” in which he stuffed the rooms with enough trash to be seen from outside. Using the two exhibitions as a starting point, this title explores the diametrically opposed poetics of Klein and Arman.Klein aimed to override the notion of art as synonymous with the material production of works, while Arman made clear the industrial essence of modern humanity. Highlighting 60 works, this publication synthesizes their divergent practices as two compatible tenets of Nouveau réalisme.
