And Yves Klein (
nom de guerre: “Yves the Monochrome”), in Paris, publishing a four-page newspaper (
Le Dimanche), writing a manifesto in the form of a caption:

He means to be in shape to go into space soon to join his favorite work: an aerostatic sculpture composed of 1,001 blue balloons, which, in 1957, escaped from his exhibition into the sky over Saint-Germain-des-Pres never to return. To liberate sculpture from the base has been his preoccupation for a long time.
