4.0
I just (in August 2018) finished what I think is my third read-through of this book. Although I used to be a big reader of both art books and comic books, my recent reading has been so dominated by text that the experience (I almost called it a "practice") of incorporating photos of Yves Klein's deep monochrome color fields into my reading has felt like an incredible relief and opening out. I'm not sure there would be that many other artists whose work would do as good a job. Klein's work feels, to me, free of the need to be interpreted — to the point where his own interpretations of it, as quoted by Weitemeier, seem almost spurious.
