Famous for his 'blue'
Klein begins using gold leaf
He gets the gold for the gold leaf by
selling empty spaces as works of art
The purchasers buy
nothingness with gold
In return they get
a signed certificate of ownership
Klein meets buyers
by the River Seine
But only those prepared
to burn their certificate
They burn brightly and Klein
throws half the gold into the Seine
With the rest of the gold
he makes gold leaf
