Yves Klein was an artist in the truest sense. He took risks and broke rules for the sake of his personal expression. Fifty years after his death Klein is poised to shock the world once more and garner an estimated Million for the sale of his masterpiece “‘Fire-Color 1’ (FC 1)”. The original work is to be sold as one of the highlights of Christie’s Post War & Contemporary Evening Sale on May 8th. In honor of this momentous occasion, Christie’s teamed up with La Mer and sponsored a screening of a short film about his life called La Revolution Bleu. The film is shot by and follows the artists from the start of his career to his untimely death in 1962. It features authentic footage from the 60’s including a glimpse into Klein’s creative process.
