CY TWOMBLY
2015-11-09The exhibition will include as yet unseen large Bacchus paintings, with loans from the Cy Twombly Foundation and other collections.
Twombly’s enduring importance to the art of the present is attested to by the many recent survey exhibitions in leading international museums. He has been a cornerstone of Gagosian Gallery since the 1980s. Gallery exhibitions of his work presented over the last twenty-five years include “Bolsena Paintings” (1989–90), “The Coronation of Sesostris” (2000–01), “Lepanto” (2002), “Bacchus” (2005–06), and “The Rose” (2009).
Throughout this period, Twombly inaugurated several Gagosian galleries with exhibitions of new work—“Ten Paintings and a Sculpture” (London, 2004), “Three Notes from Salalah: (Rome, 2007–08), “Leaving Paphos Ringed with Waves” (Athens, 2009), and “Camino Real” (Paris, 2010). “The Last Paintings” and “Photographs” toured Gagosian Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London, and New York in 2012.
