Yves Klein's "Corde Bleu"

The Bloggist and his friend, Alred Jarry, while walking through the fields near Fordingbridge came across this Readymade by Yves Klein. Originally intended for his exhibition, “Proposte Monocrome, Epoca Blu”, this piece was deemed too big for the Gallery Apollinaire. For many years “Corde Bleu” was in a private collection but in 2018, to memorialise the poisoning of Dawn Stugess by KGB Agents during their attack on the Skripals, it was erected on the banks of the River Avon.
