Yves Klein: How texture affects our perception of color in Blue Monochrome | AT THE MUSEUM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Restoring Yves Klein's Blue Monochrome (1961) requires much more than just the exact right shade of blue paint. MoMA paintings conservator Ellen Davis corrects the surface texture in several areas of Klein's iconic painting to adjust for previous conservation efforts.

That is a very blue painting. Never seen anything so blue
I love the way she talks, it's relaxing
I've worked with International Klein Blue. It's indescribable. Photos give an idea of how deep and weird the blue is. But, in person, the way it is powdery and totally non-reflective is mesmerizing, as if it absorbs light.
There's something about the level of care and passion and attention to detail here that really restores my faith in humanity.
Can we hear more about Ellen’s journey/ what it takes to become a conservationist?
Pieces of why I adore art and color.
Congratulations! I know from my practise, the blue colour is one of the hardest to restore and work with.
My favorite color blue is Klein. Beautiful!💙
is this the art piece eddie redmayne wrote a paper on for his finals or smth😂
I have never had a favorite color, but I am certain I just found one!
It takes a special person to withstand the extreme tedium of this kind of work. Awesome!
I have been trying to remember the name of this painting for years as I saw it in person once. I remember being struck with the odd sense that the wall was FURRY in the edges of my perception but looking at it directly had a completely different effect, varying slightly by the amount of sunlight in the room. Still images and video just doesn't quite capture the effect of seeing it oneself.
I am so mesmerized.. like breathtaking actually
After filling her field of view with YKB for so many hours & days, does she dream of blue?
(or does she see an aftereffect colour?)
Very interesting she explains so well I would love to take a restoration class from her
Wonderful!
Smart & beautifully shot! Thank you!!!
where can you study art restoration? tips? ideas?
I had an ASMR effect while watching her work at texture
i like the chair, bravo
she’s so calm
Do you think her color vision gets messed up after hours of looking at this ultra-blue wall?
People usually think painting a canvas a solid color is very lazy and boring but if they heard the actual process of creating the piece and attempted it themselves they would discover it's very difficult.
This is very interesting to me. I'm currently taking an undergraduate in graphic design ( meanwhile taking many painting classes on the side) This seems like it would be rigth up my alley. I really enjoy detail work. How does one get into this field?
Question: if you are using the pigment from the back of the work to repair damage on the front, how are future conservators able to identify between original work and conservation work?
sometimes i don't know how i feel about restoration with actually painting on the artwork. Part of the fascination when I see a painting for me is knowing that that VERY smudge of paint came from that very specific artist that i look up to. When I know a painting is restored the feeling of doubt if that is the actual hand of the artist or if it is the hand of the restorer sometimes bothers me. I have huge respect for restorers and ofcourse it's neccesary sometimes, but maybe there's something about a painting just vading due to time as well that's beautiful.
I am just as fascinated by Ellen Davis as I am by Yves Klein
I hope she gets paid enough
Klein's blue is the best blue
Love Ellen's job ;)
My favorite color
Had corneal surgery a couple of weeks ago and they used that exact scalpel lol
Is there any way to buy some of this paint? I've been looking for a a while and only found one sold out iteration of it.
A few notes or concerns...
At about 2:10 she rests her gloved hand on the painting's surface. I feel this raises the risk of stretching the canvas (I think MoMA refers to the substrate simply as cotton) or damaging the texture. Surely there is a way to rest and stabilize the arm and hand independently of the artwork.
After working the texturing, she blows on the painting. Your breath always contains moisture, and she's introducing that moisture and whatever bacteria is in her mouth (we all have some) into the painting.
At about 2:15 it appears she rests her ungloved ring finger on the edge of the painting, introducing naturally occurring bodily oils into the artwork.
I don't know. I'm actually opposed, in most cases, to art conservation, and my notes may seem nitpicky, but for the great time and enormous expense that museums spend on conservation, shouldn't every precaution should be taken to not undo their own accomplishments?
Nice, Good stuff keep it coming
I need that chair she's sitting on.
I have Yves Klein tattooed on my body(His leap into the void) I love his work so much.. this woman is also my dream girl. So helpless here in new zealand!
Can we talk about the chair
Ah yes, Behr Ultramarine interior flat latex enamel over canvas spread with a 3/8 nap roller. Excellent.
soooooo coool job !!!
I would like to ask you about the standing spot light that you use to work with.Is it too hot when using the light. Can you tell me the type of lamp. I would really appreciate., because I have a hard type seeing.
Linda Seguinin during conservation/restoration treatments is common practice to use the same light as in the gallery or department where the piece is exhibited. That way the restored areas become unnoticed.
I totally geeked out on this video! :) Also you're easy on the eyes.
What is the painting supposed to be / make us feel / represent?
Merve Aral "Klein's work revolved around a Zen-influenced concept he came to describe as "le Vide" (the Void). Klein's Void is a nirvana-like state that is void of worldly influences; a neutral zone where one is inspired to pay attention to one's own sensibilities, and to "reality" as opposed to "representation"." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Klein
Merve Aral does art have to have a purpose, force a meaning on he viewer? Blue represented freedom for Klein. You associated every color to something. Blue makes you think of the sky and the sea, which according to Klein - if I remember correctly - was not only nature in it's fullest, but also the most abstract. I like to think of the color as meditation. Its meaning is to not necessarily have meaning, to eacape from that and be OK with it.
Also, it's apparently very mind-boggingly BLUE when you see it in person. But even in photographs, when you look at something painted in Yves-Klein blue, it's just like it's radiating energy.
This blue color..... for some reason...... pisses me off. Is that weird?
Dreamy
is that a joe bradley in the background?
Those amazing Picabias in the background, stealing the show...
So it’s a big blue square...
It's a couple of inches over to the left side of her tool at about 9 o'clock. look closely.
My favorite color, that I can never own...😔
How large a work of International Klein Blue would you want? 🤔
Uma pena que ão entendo inglês. Não sei como traduzir.
Man Met is now competing itself as an artist against the artists it is showing in.
I don’t have the patience for this😂
blue
I’m painting blue blue blue blue
I heard this blue was the inspiration for the art direction of Kanye's latest album.
This texture is from rolling (with foam/cotton roller) over still drying paint. This must be taken into mind when doing conservation of this piece
she is kinda cute :3
Been looking for the name of this shade of blue cant find em in mens clothin though lol want a klein coo true blue hoodie homie!
So much time spent on matching a color. Humans are interesting creatures.
coming here after some anime fad from twitter said they can make this
Zima blue 🟦
Good video. Thank You/
Does the Museum of Modern Art utilize non-destructive Raman chemical analysis instrumentation in its preservation and conservation activities?
how do I get this job?
This is crazy, seams so pointless to invest energy in such thing
2:20
blued
Would it be cheaper to make a new one?!
Procedurally holding that container of paint represented as irreplaceable with her left hand over an extended period of time unnecessarily elevates a risk profile.
A stabilized, adjustable platform with articulation would lessen the probability of the paint ending up damaged, dropped or....
lol
I spy noting
To borrow a phrase from Conservation Biology, "conserve to what era?" As an evolutionary biologist I would say leave it be, let it evolve.
Its a blue canvas that any five year old could reproduce.
At 4:25 I see an obvious error in the laying of texture...look closely and you'll see it too. It absolutely must be repaired.
Meticulousness personified.
Attempting to restore this is not a good idea.
you desaturated the reds too much, poor restorator looks gray.
still a gret video
still a great video
I can restore it in 5 min. :P
i'm not sure who is more stoned, the artists or the so called experts who call it art.
This is dumb.
