General Info

Adjacent to the Menil Collection's main museum, the eponymous Cy Twombly Gallery houses a body of work that is at once baroque and spare, ancient and modern. Cy Twombly (1928–2011) emerged from the New York art world of the early 1950s, though his approach to painting and sculpture defied affiliation with any predominant movement of the mid-20th century (such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, or Minimalism).Adjacent to the Menil Collection's main museum, the eponymous Cy Twombly Gallery houses a body of work that is at once baroque and spare, ancient and modern.
