Synopsis

Cy Twombly's art stood out for its adaptability, sensitivity, and uniqueness. Throughout his career, he pursued his own artistic path, independent of contemporary trends, and for a long time, his work remained unnoticed by a broader audience. By the time of his death in Rome at 83, he was globally recognized as one of the greatest and most distinctive artists of the 20th and early 21st centuries. This book offers a comprehensive overview of Twombly's intricate body of work, showcasing his most significant paintings, cycles, drawings, sculptures, and photographs.

About this title

Review

Exhibit A, Artistc flourishes show her creative side. (The Editors W Magazine)

The Essential Cy Twombly, compiled by Nicole Del Roscio, Twombly's longtime companion, presents paintings as well as rarely shown photographs and scultpures from an artist who spent hours drawing in the dark to develop his shaky, spontaneous lines. (T. Fleischmann Publisher's Weekly)

Twombly has remained the subject of great interest and research, with two enlightening new books – The Essential Cy Twombly and Cy Twombly: Paradise – hitting the shelves this autumn. (Another Magazine)

Having nearly sixty years of work at hand provides abundant evidence of the paradox governing Twombly's art-the interesting play between the epic scope of his cultural materials and the enigmatic, deeply personal means of their representation.

Twombly's art instructs, perplexes, and ultimately seduces. (Albert Mobilio Bookforum)
