Yves Klein at the Guggenheim
February 7, 2007 - Bilbao, Spain
"Consisting of five separate fountains pouring fire into the sky, and envisaged for an open public space, Fire Fountain (1960–61), by French artist Yves Klein (b. 1928, Nice; d. 1962, Paris), is the most ambitious of his fire pieces and existed only in sketches before its fabrication for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.The artist’s use of fire as a medium extended in form at Krefeld, Germany, during his 1961 retrospective, to his fire drawings and fire paintings, as well as his projects for an architecture of air, fire, and water, elements that were to provide the walls of his proposed utopian communities."
