Yves Klein - a genius provocateur or "Seller of Emptiness"? He created paintings using fire, water, natural phenomena, and even the naked female body, and today some of them go under the hammer for more than 30 million dollars. His... works sparked controversy among critics and admiration from colleagues, while his monochrome paintings and the exhibition "Emptiness" forever changed our understanding of what art is. At 34, he was at the peak of fame, but a sudden series of heart attacks killed him in just two weeks, leaving his young wife alone to raise their son. So who was Yves Klein? What kind of person stood behind those infinitely blue paintings and daring performances that still astonish us? Created in collaboration with the Klein Heritage Foundation, this graphic novel truthfully tells the story of this extraordinary artist, painting it in his favorite color - blue. It paints the story of a man who wanted to own the sky.
