Yves Klein’s California condenses the experiential world of the American West Coast while remaining faithful to the artist’s iconic blue, International Klein Blue. The work evokes a sense of infinity, freedom, and boundlessness, which Klein associated with California’s light, open spaces, and spiritual atmosphere. Rather than depicting a specific landscape, it conveys an inner experience: the autonomous, almost transcendent presence of color that goes beyond traditional representation.

Today, Yves Klein’s works achieve notably high prices on the international auction market, clearly demonstrating how enduring and sought-after his art remains. His classic paintings and sculptures typically change hands for sums in the millions of dollars; for example, a large-scale blue painting was recently sold for over 21 million dollars at a Paris auction. Earlier record-setting works, such as Le Rose du Bleu, have fetched more than 36 million dollars at auction, marking a record for a French postwar artist. This strong market performance and sustained collector interest show that Klein’s art is not only of historical significance but also remains a stable and valuable investment over the long term.
