If it's not apparent from the blog, I'll go ahead and reveal to you that I love color. I have over 50 shades of nail polish just because all the little pots of paint being right at the stretch of my hand make me ridiculously happy. I decided to view the
Yves Klein exhibit earlier this year strictly for this reason. When I learned of Klein's use of monochromatic color in much of his work, I had to see it for myself. His most famous works RE 46, RE 1, and MG 9 sold for $4,720,000, $6,716,000, and $21,000,000, respectively, at
Christie's. The photos don't do the works justice, so if you have the opportunity I highly recommend you visit the next or nearest exhibit of his work.
