This comprehensive exhibition catalogue was published on the occasion of the Cy Twombly exhibition at Galerie Karsten Greve, featuring texts by renowned art theorists Hubert Damisch and Oswald Schwemmer. The book includes:
* A critical essay by Damisch, exploring Twombly’s inscriptions, erasure, and the interplay between textual and pictorial elements.
* A philosophical analysis by Schwemmer on Twombly’s line work and its ambiguous symbolism.
* High-quality color reproductions of 38 works.
* A bibliography, catalogues raisonnés, and lists of exhibitions and critical writings up to 1997.
This volume is an essential reference for scholars, collectors, and admirers of Twombly, situating his work within broader art-historical and philosophical contexts, including comparisons to Jackson Pollock, Clement Greenberg, and Stéphane Mallarmé.
