The Cy Twombly Gallery of the Menil Collection in Houston, which was designed by Renzo Piano and opened in 1995, houses more than thirty of Twombly's paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, dating from 1953 to 1994. A large collection of Twombly's work is also kept by the Museum Brandhorst and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
This silkscreen by Twombly is from the portfolio of 10 artists, entitled 'On the Bowery', 1971 and is part of Twombly's Blackboard series (1966-71), so-named because the artwork appeared to have been inspired by the notion of the classroom blackboard or the child’s primer as a temporal and highly graphic conveyor of information. Twombly’s first Blackboard paintings had been made after a year-long break from painting following the 1964 debacle when the Baroque exuberance of his Nine Discourses on Commodus series had been savagely attacked by American critics.
He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia and then at the Art Students League of New York, where he met Robert Rauschenberg, who encouraged him to attend Black Mountain College near Asheville, NC.
