Table d’Or, 1961/1963

3,000 sheets of 22-karat gold leaf, glass, plexiglass, wood, and steel - This work is from an edition begun in 1963 under the supervision of Rotraut Klein-Moquay based on a model by Yves Klein - Signed R. Moquay and numbered on a label affixed to the underside // Yves Klein's Table d’Or (1961/1963) is a luxurious, limited-edition object that merges art and furniture design with a striking, minimalist aesthetic. This low table is crafted from 3,000 sheets of 22-karat gold leaf encased in glass, plexiglass, wood, and supported by sleek steel legs. The golden interior creates an effect of radiant light and opulence, as the gold leaf reflects and refracts light, bringing a sense of warmth and elegance to the piece. Conceived by Klein and produced posthumously under the supervision of his widow, Rotraut Klein-Moquay, Table d’Or is both a functional object and a piece of fine art that challenges traditional boundaries. Klein, known for his exploration of immateriality and color, particularly his famous International Klein Blue, brings a similar fascination with pure color and material presence to this creation. Each piece in the edition is signed by R. Moquay and numbered, underscoring its authenticity and connection to Klein's iconic legacy. Show Less
