Cy Twombly Photographs: Lyrical Variations

Cy Twombly (1928–2011) famously elevated scribbles, doodles and scratches to high art, but his abstract paintings were always rife with allusions to antiquity and classical mythology – due in no small measure to the fact that this Virginia native lived his whole life in Rome. Twombly also captured his times in nostalgia-packed Polaroids, 100 of which are featured at this exhibition composed of photographs spanning six decades – from 1951 to 2011. In addition to the snaps, you can rest your eyes on a few paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints.
