Edition 2011
Cy Twombly
Born in 1928 in Lexington, Virginia.
After studying—alongside Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns—at Black Mountain College in 1951, and then a period in New York, he moved to Italy in the late 1950s and for forty years lived a hermit’s life at Gaeta, between Rome and Naples. International success came later for him than for Rauschenberg and Johns, but for twenty years now he has been one of the best-known artists of his time. This recent period has been covered by major retrospectives—in Rome, London and New York—of his paintings, bronze and plaster sculptures and the photographs he had been taking since the Black Mountain days, when he was studying under Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning and John Cage. This is his second exhibition at the Collection Lambert, which possesses a collection of his works on paper that is unique in France and Europe.
