The Essential Cy Twombly

$75.00
By Nicola Del Roscia, Cy Twombly, Laszlo Glozer, Thierry Greub, Simon Schama, Kirk Varnedoe Recognized as one of the greatest and most idiosyncratic artists of the postwar era, Cy Twombly left behind an oeuvre of incredible versatility, sensitivity and originality upon his death in 2011 at age 83. Working in the immediate aftermath of abstract expressionism, Twombly developed an intensely personal scription consisting of scrawled letters and words, in an effusive, calligraphic mark-making tha...

Cy Twombly
Untitled belongs to Cy Twombly’s Blackboards series, in which he drew whirling loops in white crayon on gray painted canvases, reminiscent of schoolroom chalkboards. The parallel rows of curving lines recall a child’s handwriting lessons, perhaps implying that the artist is positioning himself as a student, not a master. Twombly’s painting deemphasizes artistic skill as part of a broader challenge he posed to the idea that the brushstroke is a unique, authentic trace of the artist. His purposefully elementary graphic scribbles can be understood as undermining or questioning the painted…

Jean-Michel Basquiat: Remix

$33.00
Text by Stéphane Ibars, interview with Yvon Lambert How Basquiat transformed his sources and brought a raw, fresh energy to the art of painting.

Like them, he eschewed virtuosity and appealed instead to naivety and u...

Sally Mann: Remembered Light

$45.00
By Sally Mann and Simon Schama. The artists Cy Twombly and Sally Mann may at first seem an unlikely pairing. He was a leading contemporary artist who defied easy categorization, a painter and sculptor whose enigmatic work often referenced mythology and epic poetry. She is a photographer with an uncanny ability to tap raw human emotion, whether depicting members of her family or the landscape of the American South. What they had in common was place—both grew up in rural Lexington, Virginia, wh...
