Exhibition catalogue from Cy Twombly - 'Sculpture' at Gagosian London. 30th September - 21st December 2019
Size: 13 x 24cm
pp. 16
Twombly made his sculptures from found materials such as plaster, wood, and iron, as well as objects that he habitually used and handled in the studio. From 1946 onward, he created many assemblages, though they were rarely exhibited before the 1997 publication of the first volume of his catalogue raisonné. Often modest in scale, they embody his artistic language of handwritten glyphs and symbols, evoking narratives from antiquity and fragments of literature and poetry.
