Obwohl ein Zeitgenosse von Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns, entfernt sich Twombly mit seinem künstlerischen Werk von der amerikanischen Nachkriegsabstraktion.

He created works in which personal expression intertwines with mythology, so that narratives, language, and inner visions emerge from his abstract notations. Although a contemporary of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, Twombly's artistic practice diverges from American postwar abstraction. While movements such as Pop Art distanced themselves from historical narratives, he explicitly turned to ancient, classical, and modern poetic traditions. Dieses Los ist regelbesteuert.

Cy Twombly Paint Drip Flowers On Canvas
Est: -
18W x 24H. In good condition with wear commensurate with age. From the estate collection of Alexander Goykhman. Signed top right. Offered here is a Cy Twombly floral drip composition on canvas, featuring a row of expressive blossoms rendered in crimson, rose, blush, and gold tones against a soft neutral ground. Long cascading paint trails descend from each flower form, creating a striking balance of spontaneity, movement, and vertical rhythm. The minimalist background allows the layered pigments and gestural brushwork to command immediate attention. Cy Twombly was celebrated for merging abstraction, poetic symbolism, and energetic mark-making into highly distinctive modern compositions. Floral works associated with his style are especially admired for their emotional presence, loose painterly execution, and elegant contemporary appeal. This example offers a dramatic decorative statement well suited for modern interiors and curated art collections. Canvas measures approximately 18 inches wide x 24 inches high. From the estate collection of Alexander Goykhman. Signed upper right and presented in good condition with wear commensurate with age.

ACRYLIC ON CANVAS, CY TWOMBLYAT Style
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Dimensions: Image size: 42 x 50 inches. All measured values are approximate. In this work, the artist composes the surface with spontaneous white and blue brushstrokes, their raw energy and gestural freedom evoking a strong sense of movement and immediacy. The vigorous, calligraphic lines abandon representational form, transforming the act of painting itself into the primary vehicle of expression. What may appear as “scribbles” are in fact traces of emotion, memory, and the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas—an embodiment of the action painting ethos central to Abstract Expressionism. The interplay of white strokes against a blue ground generates a luminous, poetic atmosphere. Layers of overlapping gestures create depth and visual tension, suggesting a rhythm that oscillates between chaos and calm.
