American abstract painter Cy Twombly's 1970 painting, Untitled (Rome), could fetch between US$35 million and US$45 million at Sotheby's evening sale of contemporary art on May 12 in New York.Apr 29, 2021
Lexington, Virginia, U.S. Edwin Parker "Cy" Twombly Jr. (/saɪ ˈtwɒmbli/; April 25, 1928 – July 5, 2011) was an American painter, sculptor and photographer. He belonged to the generation of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.
Twombly played an equally significant role in opening pathways beyond the high-minded purity and frequent machismo of Abstract Expressionism, the dominant painting style in the late 1940s and '50s, when the three men entered the New York art world.Jul 6, 2011

The house paint—cans of which Twombly might well have had on hand from painting his studio—had a fluid consistency that allowed it to cover the canvas lightly and efficiently. Then, rather than opening tubes of oil paint, Twombly turned to the pencils and crayons with which he had been making scrawly drawings.
Throughout his career, Twombly sustained an active engagement with drawing, gesture, and making marks on paper. His urgent, meandering lines embody the intimate energies that carry over into his paintings, sculptures, and photographs.Apr 25, 2018
