Lot Essay

This work will be included in the Addenda to the Cy Twombly: Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings being prepared by Nicola Del Roscio.

“The line is the feeling, from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning. It’s like I’m experiencing something frightening, I’m experiencing the thing and I have to be at that state because I’m also going.” (C. Twombly in an interview with D. Sylvester, London, 2000)
