Exhibition catalogue published by Gagosian Gallery in 2009 for Cy Twombly: Eight Sculptures, a focused presentation of eight bronzes completed that same year. 56 pp. hardcover, fully illustrated. Good condition.
Kate Nesin’s brief essay, “Eight Sculptures, Eight Bronzes,” frames these late works through Frank O’Hara’s description of Twombly’s sculpture as “witty and funereal,” tracing the artist’s play between oppositions—copy and original, weight and levity, knowingness and sincerity. She situates the bronzes within Twombly’s longer sculptural practice, from early resin casts to these final, gleaming forms attentive to surface, materiality, and time.
