48”W x 43.25”H Very good condition, Lithograph in colors printed on fine matte finish, white paper, Unframed.
A special collector’s piece, this magnificent large-format original poster was produced on the occasion of Cy Twombly’s landmark 1994 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art — the most comprehensive exhibition of his work ever presented in the United States. Spanning from 1946 through his most recent work at the time, the exhibition is widely regarded as a defining moment in the artist’s career, one that reaffirmed Twombly’s place as a singular master of postwar art and underscored the pivotal role his work has played in the evolution of contemporary art. The featured work, Untitled (1961), painted just four years after Cy Twombly’s permanent move to Rome, captures the artist enthralled by the Eternal City and at the height of his creative powers. Relentless flurries of scribbles, scratches, and swirling gestures surge across the canvas, interwoven with impasto accretions of luscious pigment in earth tones, fleshy pinks, deep reds, and graphite gray. The densely layered surface evokes fragments, ruins, and traces of antiquity—like the remains of an excavated city.
This rare large-format vintage poster is both a compelling collectible commemorating this important exhibition and an exceptionally high-quality print of a masterwork by Cy Twombly, faithfully conveying much of the visual richness and gestural energy of the original work.
