Twombly, Cy (and) Heiner Bastian - Cy Twombly: Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, Vol. V. , 1996-2007

Schirmer/Mosel, 2009. Hardcover. Beige cloth-bound hardcover with blue embossed lettering on the spine. A mylar cover over a glossy white dust jacket featuring one of Twombly's works. (6), 7-240, (1) pp.Contains sixty-one full-color illustrations of Twombly's work; there are also black-and-white photographs throughout. Volume five of the series on Cy Twombly's work, a special supplimental volume published in honor of his 80th birthday in 2008. Cy Twombly's oeuvre featuring paintings, sculptures, works on paper and photographs displays a highly personal, literary character, but has undergone several profound transformations. The most decisive was the contact with Mediterranean culture caused by Twombly's withdrawal from the New York art scene he moved to Italy in 1957. Greek gods, the Mediterranean light, Western history, literature and mythology all found their way into his art. In ever larger canvases he presents the drama of humanity as a sensuous and poetic vision of color, drawing and writing. This volume covers the period 1996-2006, and, thus, among others, his famous Lepanto and Bacchus cycles. VG/VG: Small labels on mylar covering and stamps of ownership on the front and back free end pages, as well as the top text block. Faint marking of age on front free end page. A solid and seldom-used copy.
