Yves Klein was an artist in the truest sense. He took risks and broke rules for the sake of his personal expression. Fifty years after his death Klein is poised to shock the world once more and garner an estimated $30 Million for the sale of his masterpiece “‘Fire-Color 1’ (FC 1)”.

I couldn’t wait to finish the race to find out what Black Girls RUN! was all about. Read more
