"What followed was an astonishing revelation: Fred Klein's works were widely collected at the time by Dutch collectors. He discovered that works by Fred, Yves and Raymond could be found in the collections of major museums in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Schiedam, as well as institutions such as the Dutch National Bank and the government's holdings."
"Each of their oeuvres reflects significant developments in 20th-century Modern art history. Fred positions his work in the footsteps of French Impressionists, Marie works in line with Abstract Expressionism, and Rotraut continues to practice art today."
The exhibition 'Yves Klein and His Artist Family' at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam showcases the works of Yves Klein and his family, including his father Fred, mother Marie, and widow Rotraut. Curated by Tijs Visser, the exhibition reveals the previously unexamined legacy of the Klein family, highlighting their significant contributions to modern art. The show features 30 works by Yves and over 40 pieces by his family members, reflecting important developments in 20th-century art history, with Fred's work linked to Impressionism and Marie's to Abstract Expressionism.
