Cy Twombly: Natural History, Part I, Mushrooms

Exhibition Website

Aug 24 2018 - Dec 16 2018

Twombly’s unique relationship to his media and wide ranging sources of inspiration, from ancient philosophers and natural phenomenon to systems of knowledge, mythology, poetry and literature has been noted by numerous critics and historians. The artist’s portfolio of ten color lithographs entitled Natural History, Part I, Mushrooms feature scientific illustrations of mushrooms with Twombly’s recognizable visual language of notations, gestures and personal meditations, on and between collaged graph and tracing papers.
