About the Author

Matthias Koddenberg has worked in close collaboration with the Yves Klein Archives in Paris to compile around 300 images, many of which are published here for the first time. In addition to pictures of acclaimed photographers such as Rene Burri, Harry Shunk and Janos Kender or Charles Wilp, the book contains photographs of friends and colleagues as well as private pictures taken by Yves and Rotraut Klein, thus telling the intimate story of an extraordinary artist and partnership.
