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 that suggests a kind of painted poetry.
Working across painting, drawing, sculpture and photography with a
restless energy, Twombly incorporated the gods of Ancient Greece,
the poetry of Stephane Mallarme and the history, culture and
mythology of the Occident into his art. "The Essential Cy Twombly,"
edited by Twombly's longtime collaborator Nicola Del Roscio, is the
ultimate overview of his work, presenting the most important
paintings and cycles of paintings, drawings, sculptures and
photographs from Twombly's diverse oeuvre. The most accessible
survey of his work to date, this volume includes essays by Laszlo
Glozer, Thierry Greub, Kirk Varnedoe and Simon Schama.
