A universe of blue, fire, emptiness and the immaterial — Yves Klein turned almost nothing into one of the most radical artistic languages of the 20th century.

Why go
A Little Infinity offers a concentrated journey through the key ideas that made Yves Klein a pioneer of post-war European art: monochrome, immateriality, the void, the body and the transformation of everyday materials into something almost otherworldly. The exhibition brings together more than 20 paintings and three-dimensional works.

Pace of visit
It is a relatively compact exhibition, with just over 20 works, so it can be comfortably visited in under an hour. The works themselves, however, invite slow looking.
Don't miss
The International Klein Blue monochromes. Look at them from different distances: what initially appears to be simply an intense blue becomes increasingly spatial, atmospheric and almost physical.
Artlovers Tip

Don't think of Klein as simply “the artist who painted everything blue.” His real ambition was much bigger: to make art about space, sensation and the immaterial. The blue is the doorway into that idea.

Inside the exhibition

Yves Klein: A Little Infinity is presented at the Museu Fundación Juan March in Palma de Mallorca from 2 June to 26 September 2026. The exhibition is dedicated to one of the most important figures in post-war European art and a pioneer of Nouveau Réalisme.

The selection focuses on several of Klein's most recognisable artistic experiments, including his monochromes, Anthropometries and iconic blue pigment, alongside three-dimensional works. With more than 20 paintings and sculptural pieces, the exhibition provides a concise introduction to the extraordinary range of Klein's short but hugely influential career.

Klein's artistic revolution was based on a paradox: reducing art in order to expand its possibilities. A single colour could become an entire world; an empty gallery could become an artwork; the human body could become a painting tool; fire could become a means of drawing.

His famous International Klein Blue (IKB) is central to this transformation. Rather than using blue simply as a colour within a composition, Klein treated it as an autonomous artistic experience — something capable of suggesting infinity, freedom and immaterial space.

The exhibition also introduces the more experimental side of his practice, including the Anthropometries, in which the human body became a living paintbrush. These works sit alongside Klein's three-dimensional experiments, showing how quickly he moved beyond traditional painting towards performance, installation and ideas that would profoundly influence later conceptual and contemporary art.
