This book is NOT a catalogue Raisonné, that is the only problem with it, otherwise it is a perfectly nice book on Yves Klein, however, a catalogue raisonné is supposed to cover every single one of the works that the artist produced, this book clearly does not and is therefore misrepresenting its purpose.
Had I known that, I would not have bought it. Yves Klein has two other catalogue raisonnés published that are far better than this one: Wember, Paul. Yves Klein. Cologne: DuMont Schauberg, 1969. There is another catalogue raisonne out there, published in 2000 in three volumes that looks comprehensive, but I have not seen it in detail.
