Yves Klein, Monochrome und Feuer. Krefeld, Haus Lange, 1961

Rare invitation card for the ‘Monochrome und Feuer’ exhibition at Museum Haus Lange Krefeld, 21 x 9.8 cm. Consists of 3 parts: a folded white thick sheet printed b/w with the interior fully silkscreen printed in Yves Klein blue; an inlaid silkscreen printed blue card with black text on white stock on verso; and a loose pink sheet containing an announcement by Paul Wember about the change of dates for the Yves Klein exhibition (apparently due to a strike in Belgium).

The loose inserted blue card announces the now famous opening performance 'Monotone Sinfonie-Stille’ played by the Städtische Orchestra, conducted by Klein while nude models were rolling around in blue paint in order to make body prints on paper. All sheets in mint condition.
