Yves Klein

I have to admit to not being very impressed by the art of Yves Klein. I know I should be but it seems to me that a giant blue canvas (not to mention half a dozen identical small ones) is just not interesting, although the colour is nice, but then to repeat it in other colours is just boring.
Oh wait! He did other things, spray painting naked models against a canvas to create a void, sticking sponges to canvases and painting them, painting bodies and making prints - no all in all its not my thing.
This exhibition was just boring, but there were lots of people who were very interested. But perhaps I'm just bitter because the gallery with the Magritte and Duchamp is closed.
