Relief éponge or (RE47II) by Yves Klein (1928-1962) sold for £5,865,250 and was the top lot of the 11 February Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale in London. The longer of only two gold sponge reliefs ever created by the artist, it encapsulates the essence of Klein’s art with the marriage of two of his greatest series; the Relief Eponges (Sponge reliefs) and Monogolds. It was offered at auction for the first time having been in the collection of the vendor since circa 1980. (RT: 3:28)
