This object references the French painter Yves Klein (1928-1962). He is best known for his monochrome works and the deep ultramarine blue that he developed – IKB or International Klein Blue.
Yves Kiln consists of clay that is squeezed through the ‘Extruder’, a machine developed by Alvarez himself. He wanted to make it look like it was blue clay - squeezed straight from a tube of IKB, as it were. In reality, the paint was applied later. The name refers to both Yves Klein and the kiln in which the work is fired.
