Stunning large work based on Picasso's masterpiece "Le Rêve" ("The Dream"), KASM has embellished the vintage print on canvas with acrylic overpainting and collage, featuring a remarkable shade of blue and his signature humour and depth.

The title translates as "Dreaming of Yves" with the young muse dreaming in Klein "Blue Monochromes", seemingly after a passionate encounter with the young French master. She has dozed off reading the newspaper and the headline translates as "Picasso the cuckold: "I accuse Klein!". The evidence is clear for all to see, with Yves caught "blue handed" as it were...

Painted in 1932 by a 50-year-old Picasso, the sleeping woman is his young mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter, aged only 22 at the time. The original was owned (and notoriously damaged) by casino magnate Steve Wynn and became one of the most expensive paintings ever sold. The photograph of Yves Klein in "Le Monde" was taken in Berlin in 1960 by Charles Wilp.

Beautiful work on canvas in a black frame. Unique piece from his "In-Klein" series of works.
