Quite by chance, he spun one of the panels on its pivot during a long exposure. When they were finished, Klein took several photographs of them, and stumbled on photography. The Italian architect Mangiarotti saw Klein’s work and asked him to adapt it into reversible panels that could move or divide a room, creating many chance combinations and multiple patterns. He was preoccupied then with changing forms, with ominous geometrical shapes that could be used as murals. In 1952, Klein’s paintings were exhibited in Milan at the Galleria del Milione - which, by chance, led to his first real experiment in photography. ![]()
