La Terre Bleue Yves Klein™ by Lalique 2015 Limited Edition

DESCRIPTION

La Terre Bleue was originally created by Yves Klein in 1961 and recreated by Lalique in 2015 with their Lost Wax Technique. Limited Edition of 100 units. 

In the oeuvre of Yves Klein, the Earth is a recurrent theme, appearing in multiple variants and forming a series more globally entitled “Planetary reliefs”.

It is a perfect expression of Yves Klein’s fascination with the monochrome, the immaterial, space and nature. The Earth looked as though it had been dipped in a container filled with “International Klein Blue” paint.

In creating this exceptional piece, Lalique, thanks to the talent of its artisans coupled with the lost wax technique and IKB blue artfully recreated by obtaining a specific formula of copper and cobalt oxides, has further extended the possibilities of crystal.

Originally created by Yves Klein in 1961, the “Terre Bleue” takes on a completely new dimension in crystal, giving it an unrivalled transparency, the light revealing the essence of the material.

Lalique today is considered the jewel in the crown of the French glass and crystal industry since 1888 – a byword for excellence, a reputation earned through creating extraordinary pieces in crystal glass in its myriad variations. It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.
