This iconic table is from the edition begun in 1963 under the supervision
of Yves Klein’s widow, Rotraut Klein-Moquay, based on two models he
designed in 1961. Klein died unexpectedly in 1962 and other than these
two original models owned by his estate
there are no vintage tables. From 1963 to the present, the Yves Klein
Archives has overseen the production of this coffee table and there has
only ever been the one, continuous edition. The estate does not
recognize tables produced earlier in the edition as any more valuable
than the brand new ones we sell today. Each table has a signed and
numbered placard of authenticity issued by the estate affixed to the
underside.
The table is available in the three materials most common to
Klein's work: International Klein Blue (IKB) pigment, rose pigment, and
gold leaf.
