Explore the intricate world of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. This comprehensive monograph delves into the prolific career of American artist Cy Twombly (1928-2011), whose expressive power and innovative approach left an indelible mark on contemporary art. Spanning six decades, Twombly's oeuvre is celebrated for its fusion of American Abstract Expressionism with rich European and Mediterranean cultural influences.

Featuring nearly 200 works, from paintings and sculptures to drawings and photographs, it offers a comprehensive look at the intellectual and sensual richness of Twombly's art. Tracing his development from the early 1950s, characterized by the use of text, through his reaction to Minimal and Conceptual art in the 1970s, to his final monumental compositions, this volume underscores the significance of Twombly's series and cycles in reinventing history painting.
