Cy Twombly continues to make lyrical poem art pieces from paint and found or discarded objects. The lyrical and poetical qualities that first attracted me to Twombly's painting and sculpture are still as robust today as when I first saw and studied a Twombly painting as an art student back in the early 70's. This over-sized monograph is filled with gorgeoous colored photos of his more recent work. Most of the work is reproduced on a full-page scale. This monograph is a must have for serious Twombly fans.

This is an execallent publication with good essays and images , giving an in depth view of these poignant works and the pulse behind them, and of the Artist Cy Twombly who has captured the human spirit in the most eloquent way possible .
I am thrilled to have this book, another to my collection from Amazon.
Great service and prompt delivery.

A beautiful book on an interesting recent development in Cy Twombly's career, this is a high-quality publication as far as the illustrations of the works are concerned and it was published by the same German publisher who oversaw the magnificent 5-volume catalogue raisonné of the paintings and the single-volume catalogue raisonné of the sculptures. Even though his earliest known sculptures date back to the late fifties, he really concentrated on the medium after 1990, producing a serene body of works marked by a thick white impasto covering common objects, found here and there, mounted together to form elegant and sometimes majestic sculptures. A good supplement to the Catalogue Raisonné of the sculptures (which stops in 1995). My only criticism would be on the text, which sometimes tends to be a bit too hagiographic; the admiration professed by the authors towards the artist seems almost religious, however,like any great artist, Twombly has produced masterpieces, but also some minor works...
