Cy Twombly at Art Institute of Chicago
May 16 - September 13, 2009
The Art Institute of Chicago opened the Abbott Galleries in the new Renzo Piano-designed Modern Wing with a selection of work by Cy Twombly. Cy Twombly: The Natural World, Selected Works 2000-2007 will be on view from May 16 - September 13, 2009.
The exhibition "celebrates the artist's abiding concern with the natural world, specifically landscape, seascape, and flora. The exhibition is devoted to a full range of media, including bold and monumental multipanel paintings, wood and plaster sculptures, dry print photographs, and works on paper. Many of the more than 30 works in the exhibition have never before been seen in an American museum." [The Art Institute of Chicago]
