 Cy Twombly (American, 1928 - 2011)
Follow this artist
Edwin Parker "Cy" Twombly, Jr. was an American artist well known for his large-scale, freely scribbled, calligraphic-style graffiti paintings, on solid fields of mostly gray, tan, or off-white colors. Twombly's paintings blur the line between drawing and painting; he is said to have influenced younger artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, and Julian Schnabel. Already in 1990, a Christie's auction set a record for Twombly, with his 1971 untitled blackboard painting fetching $5.5 million. In 2011, a Twombly work from 1967, "Untitled", sold for $15.2 million at Christie's in New York.
