CY TWOMBLY - CATALOGUE RAISONNE OF SCULPTURE - Volume 1 1946-1997

 CY TWOMBLY (1928-2011)

Cy Twombley is one of the most prominent artists of our time. Although primarily known for his paintings and drawings, which have been exhibited widely throughout the world, he has been engaged in sculture making from the outset of his career. This volume presents 117 sculptures and 30 casts spanning the years 1946 to 1997, many of which have never been seen before. It represents the entirety of Twombley's sculptural output, which includes bronzes as well as pieces made of wood, plaster and other materials, and will be invaluable to scholars and students of the artist. Twombley's sculpture has come to the attention of the public recently thanks to an exhibition that travelled to the Menil Collection in Houston during 2000. Also included is an essay by the philosopher and art critic Arthur Danto, as well as comprehensive biographic, exhibition, and bibliographic information.
