Yves Peintures (Eng: Yves Paintings) is an artist's book by the French artist Yves Klein, originally published in Madrid, 18 November 1954. This publication was Klein's first public gesture as an artist, featuring pages of 'commercially printed papers' that were seemingly reproductions of paintings that, in fact, didn't exist. Using a practice started by Marcel Duchamp, this use of readymade objects to represent nothing but themselves has been referred to as an early example of Postmodernism, using a series of carefully executed strategies to undermine its own authority, and as a precursor to conceptual art. 'The simplicity of his readymades is at once sublime and mischievous.' Klein had painted his first monochromes - paintings consisting of a single colour - whilst working in a framing shop in London in late 1949 which he exhibited in his room privately, inviting only friends.
