Tangerine Tango

Versace Spring 2012

Pantone has announced Tangerine Tango the color of 2012. Since it is Fashion Week season, I thought I would take a look at the collections from New York Fashion Week and see which designers incorporated the color of the year into their collections.

Yves Klein Blue

So for the longest time, I have been wondering who this sculpture is from mainly due to the amazing color that you cannot see in this picture. I took it at the Pompidou Center (or as the Parisians call it the Boubourg)  with my phone in Paris a couple years ago when I still lived there. Today,  I read an article on the upcoming color of 2012, which is, by the way, Tangerine Tango ( the picture below). Thanks to the article I finally found out who the sculpture was by and was reunited with the amazing indigo blue he used on a lot of his pieces.

Here is a picture of Yves Klein with a similar sculpture to the one I saw at the Boubourg behind him.

This is the sculpture I am talking about, but thankfully, this picture does the sculpture justice.

Such an amazing hue of blue.

An installation of Yves Klein's work that displays the color beautifully.
