Cy Twombly

Cy Twombly's unique artistic style featured dynamic drips, energetic scribbles, and gestural lines, resulting in lyrical abstractions. Influenced by Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Dadaist cut-ups, and scientific illustrations, his marks blended associative notation with romantic symbolism. His works are exhibited globally and held in prestigious collections like the Art Institute of Chicago and the Guggenheim, often fetching tens of millions in the secondary market. In addition to painting, Twombly created multimedia sculptures, collages, and maintained a photography practice.
