One of the most influential figures of the post-war era\, Klein’s career was marked by extraordina ry creativity and a bold attitude to art and life that was pivotal to lat er movements from pop to performance art and beyond. Presenting around 30 major works the exhibition throws fresh light on his artistic practice.\n \nEmbracing painting\, sculpture\, performance\, theatre\, music\, film an d architecture\, Klein pioneered new attitudes that took the European art world by storm before his untimely death at the age of 34 from a heart a ttack. At the age of 19 the artist symbolically signed the depthless blue sky using his finger\, declaring it as his first artwork. This moment un derpinned Klein’s interest in the relationship between infinite space an d art that foreshadowed his short but startling career as one of the most original artistic thinkers.\n\nKlein’s vision was to express absolute i mmateriality and infinite space through pure colour. The exhibition exami nes this through works from across Klein’s major series including paint ings deploying his signature dazzling pure-pigment International Klein Blu e (IKB)\, a distinctive ultramarine able to invoke a powerfully depthless sense of space on the surface of the work. Also displayed will be his An thropometry paintings created by the artist choreographing nude models as living paint brushes to transfer blue pigment onto canvas and his pyrote chnic Fire Paintings\, created using a flame thrower. It further presents his sponge sculptures\, planetary-reliefs and pure-colour monochrome pain tings.\n\nThe exhibition brings together major works never before seen in the UK\, complemented by photography that reflects the breadth of his art istic vision. These images demonstrate how Klein managed his own image th rough personal and publicity photographs that present him as an artist\, visionary showman and judo master\, among many other guises.\n\nDespite dy ing at an early age Klein created a powerful body of ground-breaking work. The exhibition celebrates his practice and output that prefigured later movements including pop\, conceptual\, minimal\, installation and perform ance art and influenced later generations of artists while infusing the l anguages of popular culture and design.\n\nThe exhibition is curated by Da rren Pih\, Exhibitions &\;amp\; Displays Curator\, Tate Liverpool. It w ill be shown in parallel with the first UK retrospective by Edward Krasi ński (1925–2004).
