Cy Twombly: Photographs 1951-2007.








Photographs 1951-2007. Photographs by Cy Twombly. Text by Laszlo Glozer. Schirmer/Mosel, 2009. 264 pp., 182 color illustrations, 9½x12½".

"Printed on matte paper using a dry-print process that imbues them with velvet and almost grainy hue, the photographs of Cy Twombly, best known for his paintings, drawings, and sculpture, are reminiscent of pictorialist fin de siècle photography.

Generating visions by the simplest of means, however, they are utterly contemporary."


About the two Collector's Editions:

"Collector's Edition I is presented in a grey slipcase with a color dry print on cardboard, Studio, Lexington, VA, 2002, printed in 2008. 50 copies plus 10 copies a.p., all prints embossed with the artist's initials 'CT', on the back numbered and stamped 'Fotografia Cy Twombly.'

Collector's Edition II is presented in a red slipcase with a color dry print on cardboard, Unfinished painting, Gaeta, 2006, printed in 2008. 50 copies plus 10 copies a.p., all prints embossed with the artist's initials 'CT', on the back numbered and stamped 'Fotografia Cy Twombly.' "


Shadows and light. Texture. Interesting indeed...
