Gagosian is pleased to participate in Paris Photo 2021 with a presentation of photographs by Cy Twombly, featuring fruit, flower, and landscape imagery. These shots are permeated with images of organic growth, depicting heirloom lemons cultivated in Gaeta, Italy; the petals of tulips and roses; and verdant landscapes captured near the artist’s Lexington, Virginia, birthplace. The evocation of vision and memory and the joyful embrace of life embodied by these photographs extend to the pictures that Twombly took in 2011 of crosses and flowers in a cemetery on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy—his final series of photographs.

Join Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio to celebrate two recently published titles on Cy Twombly—Cy Twombly: Inscriptions by Thierry Greub and Cy Twombly and the American Critics, 1951–1995: A Reception History by Richard Leeman. Greub will speak with Klaus-Peter Busse about his monumental six-volume catalogue that traces the artist’s long engagement with literary sources from 1953 until his death in 2011. In conversation with Éric de Chassey, Leeman will discuss his book, which analyzes the reception of Twombly’s works in the United States from the artist’s first exhibition in 1951 through to his retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1994–95. The event, which is free to attend, will be introduced by curator Peter Benson Miller.
