من نحن

The Yves Klein Research Grant Programme (YKRGP) 2027 supports emerging scholars undertaking original research on the work, thought, and practices of Yves Klein, as well as the artistic, historical, and theoretical contexts connected to his legacy. The programme offers a one-week research residency in Paris consisting of five working days, providing privileged access to Yves Klein archives, documentary resources, a dedicated workspace, and tailored research assistance. Selected researchers may complete the residency during either the spring or autumn 2027 research period, with dates arranged in consultation with the Foundation. The grant provides CHF 6,000 in research and writing support, disbursed in two instalments, while travel and accommodation costs are fully covered by the Foundation. The programme focuses on advancing scholarly research and publication in the fields of art history, aesthetics, and the humanities through archival investigation, critical analysis, and academic writing related to Yves Klein and his broader intellectual and artistic environment.
