Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers

Well I've always been a fan of Klein and the show this book is based on had arrived at the Walker in Minneapolis. I thought that it would be a good idea to go to the main library to refresh my knowledge on Klein before going to the exhibit. Well what did I find but this book on the shelf! It's a cool format. The entire outside of this edition has been trimmed so the covers and pages are flush and the whole outside has been pigmented/dyed deep blue(IKB I presume). I'm not going into detail reviewing the book(I'm a collector not an art book critic.) except to say that the content is very extensive. The editing, photos of Klein, the images of his work, and text are well done. My only caveat is that the binding and the cover cosmetics are delicate because of the format. So, if you get a copy to collect treat the outside of the book with care, especially the cover edges. Interesting format, comprehensive content, nice price. Highly recommended.

What a great book. The design is superb, with the Klein blue all around. The selection of artworks plus the writtings, scripts, drawings and notes makes the best way to know his wonderful legacy. Every aspexct of his short career is covered, so don't think twice, this book is allright!

Loved the book, It is full of relevant information on one of the most influential artist of the 20th century and does not get enough recognition for being ahead of his time and his avant-garde projects.

the residue of the blue powder from the edges of the pages are only the beginning of the effect this book will have on me, and for any reader for years to come, a treasure, Yves Klein would be so pleased,

One of those must own art books. Thee book on Kline.

The book is great but was unfortunately badly damaged on arrival

Beautiful book,good contents and pictures, in other words, a must for every Yves Klein fan. The cover is similar to "Vitamin 3-d, new Perspectives in Sculpture and Installation", so it must be handled carefully.

Purchased as a gift for our son. He says it's, "awesome." Loves the content..... he's only skimmed so far as he just received it, but says it's fantastic.

I ordered this book as a reference for an art class I am teaching! The book is amazing, full of highly interesting references and quality. It contains photos, reproductions and unique documents. I highly recommend it.

Excellent images and texts, but binding could be improved as it feels like the pages are going to come off any time soon.
