Cy Twombly ( 1928 - 2011 ) is an American born Abstract Expressionist painter, sculptor, and photographer. The predominately large scale freely scribbled, calligraphic and graffiti like works shift toward Romantic Symbolism interpreted visually through shapes, forms, colors, and words. Twombly is said to have influenced younger artists such as Jean Michel Basquiat, Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, and Julian Schnabel. Artworks by Twombly are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.

Cy Twombly loved Paris and spent a great deal of time there throughout his life and career. And Paris has always loved Cy Twombly, from the time of his first exhibition there in 1961 through the many exhibitions of his work in the French capital throughout his life and after.

This beautiful volume with over 300 illustrations including some presented here for the first time, accompanied The Center Pompidou's exhibition of an unprecedented scale. Organized by Jonas Storsve, curator at The Musee National D'Art Moderne, the show traces the entire career of the artist. The landmark exhibition presented the full extent of this exceptional body of work and, in so doing, highlights the strong and uninterrupted relation ship between Twombly and Paris.

The large volume hardcover exhibition art book measures 11 1/4" W X 11 1/4" H X 1 3/8" D, with 320 pages. It is printed on premium paper stock, featuring 304 offset lithograph print illustrations, artist chronology, solo exhibitions list, bibliography, and list of exhibited works.
