Audible Silence: Cy Twombly at Daros
This book and the first monographic presentation at Daros
Exhibitions are devoted to Cy
Twombly. Thirty paintings, sculptures, and drawings—the Daros
holdings are supplementes by six works on loan from the Kunsthaus Zürich
and from a Swiss private collection—offer a representative survey
of the oeuvre of this American artist, whose creative singularity moves
within the framework of classical artistic categories. Twombly has been
described as “the great exception in recent art history” (Dieter
Honisch) because he defies prevailing stylistic clichés, mediates
between the Old and New Worlds, and lives, or rather wants to live as
an outsider in both of them. The writers represented here have known Cy Twombly for years and have studied his work with great intensity. In short essays, both precise and personal, poetic and contemplative, they explore a work in the Daros collection or a specific aspect of the artist's complex oeuvre. Their distinctive and discerning remarks contribute substantially to our understanding of Twombly's art. To do justice to the spirit of the writing, the essays have first been printed in their original language, followed by the German or English translation.
