About the Item

Cy Twombly Galleria La Tartaruga, Rome 1958: RARE 1950’s announcement card illustrated by Twombly, on the occasion of, what is believed to be Twombly’s first ever European Exhibition. Twombly's calligraphic design handsomely extends across the covers; while the interior features a poetic text (Italian) on the art of traces from the long-time Director of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Palma Bucarelli. Seldomly if ever comes to market. Not to be passed upon. Offset printed bi-folding announcement card. 1958. 11.5 x 6 inches (folded closed). A fine impression in good to very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. _ Cy Twombly’s idiosyncratic style incorporated expressive drips, frenetic scribbles, and gestural, calligraphic linework into lyrical abstractions. The artist drew on a wide array of influences, ranging from the bold brushwork of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline to Dada cut-ups and scientific illustration. His mark-making hovered between associative notation and romantic symbolism. Twombly’s works have been shown in cities across the world, and they belong to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Centre Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim, among many others. His work has fetched prices in the tens of millions on the secondary market. In addition to his paintings, Twombly produced multimedia sculptures and collages and maintained a consistent photography practice.

1960s Antoni Tàpies lithograph (Tàpies prints)
By Antoni Tàpies
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Antoni Tàpies Lithograph 1969 Published by: Sala Gaspar as part of the 1969 Tàpies catalog. Lithograph in colors 9x14 inches Center fold-line as issued; light fading/yellowing; otherwise very good condition for its age. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Antoni Tàpies Over the course of his career in painting, printmaking, and etching, Antoni Tàpies (Spanish 1923-2012) has created his own visual language of symbols and marks to help communicate the broad range of influences in his work including, most significantly, his Catalan roots, as well as his involvement with the Parisian intellectual scene of the 1950s, meeting exponents of Art informel like Jean Fautrier and Jean Dubuffet. Tàpies’s abstract paintings are made with expressive blends of impasto, gestural brush strokes, often backwards hand-written script, and common materials such as soil and marble dust.
