Yves Klein: Fire at the Heart of the Void (Art & Knowledge) Details
About the Author PIERRE RESTANY (1930-2003) was a French art critic best known for championing the artists he dubbed the Nouveaux Realistes, which included Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Raymond Hains, and Niki de Saint Phalle. Restany's impassioned writing and organizational energy was a crucial factor in the movement's success. Following the dissolution of the group in 1963, Restany became a peripatetic critic, curator and magazine editor, contributing regularly to the Italian review DOMUS and publishing numerous books and countless catalogue essays. When the experimental exhibition space Palais de Tokyo opened in Paris in 2002, he was named its president, an honor that acknowledged his relevance to a new generation of socially oriented French artists and critics. His books include YVES KLEIN; L'AUTRE FACE DE L'ART; and UNE VIE DANS L'ART. Read more
