New York, NY, Gagosian [2022]. [120] pp. Num. ills (chiefly col.). Orig. hardcover (baords). Sm. folio [35 x 27 cm.].Catalogue of an exhibition held at Gagosian Beverly Hills, September 15 - December 17, 2022; and at Gagosian New York, January 19 - March 4, 2023. --This book focuses on Twombly's paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from the final decade of his life. Returning to large-format painting, the artist chose a lush color palette for these elegantly dynamic works, while the exhibited sculptures extend his attention to gesture and materiality into three dimensions. This richly illustrated catalogue contains color images and details of 33 works featured in the two exhibitions, as well as photographs of the installation in Beverly Hills. It also includes a conversation between Tacita Dean and Julie Mehretu, in which these artists use their knowledge of Twombly's work and their own experience as painters to explain his creative process. - Text in English.
