Cy Twombly Retrospective at Centre Pompidou Marks 40th Anniversary

The Centre Pompidou in Paris is hosting a major retrospective of Cy Twombly (1928–2011), running until April 24. The exhibition is part of a series of large retrospectives celebrating the museum's 40th anniversary, which began on November 30 with the American-born, Italian-adopted artist. Featuring approximately 140 works, the show includes not only his iconic paintings with classical and Greco-Roman mythological references but also drawings, photographs, and sculptures. The sculptures, noted for their geometric and chromatic rigor, offer a new perspective on an artist often reduced to his 'cultured scribbles.'
