HOB 1 Hydrangea Petals Abstract
Not quite a Yves Klein IKB 79 (IKB stands for International Klein Blue) a distinctive ultramarine which Klein registered as a trademark colour in 1957. He considered that this colour had a quality close to pure space and he associated it with immaterial values beyond what can be seen or touched. IKB 79 was one of nearly two hundred blue monochrome paintings Yves Klein made during his short life.
Here's IKB 79 which hangs in the Tate Gallery

Yves Klein (28 April 1928 – 6 June 1962) was a French artist considered an important figure in post-war European art. He is the leading member of the French artistic movement of Nouveau réalisme founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany. Klein was a pioneer in the development of performance art, and is seen as an inspiration to, and as a forerunner of, minimal art, as well as pop art.
