Note(s) : William Klein is a cult figure in photography and film and, although long noted as
a painter, his early work has remained largely unseen for over sixty years. This book
presents a selection of extremely rare Klein paintings from the late 1940s and early
1950s. It also includes projects for murals, some of which executed on a monumental
scale for the first time, Lettrist works, fashion photographs and Printed Contacts.
The show also maps a decisive moment in the artist's development: in 1952. While photographing
his painted Turning Panels commissioned by architect Angelo Mangiarotti, Klein captured
the blur of objects in movement. The incident set the artist off on a series of experiments
in the dark room, in which he developed the blueprint of his photographic abstraction.
Giving a new perspective on his entire career, this book clearly portrays the foundations
of Klein's unique visual language as his trajectory is traced through painting, architecture,
photography, books, and film
