Print 4, from Octavio Paz - Cy Twombly (B. 83)
This signed and numbered print represents one of fifteen impressions from Cy Twombly's collaborative series with Mexican poet Octavio Paz, published by the Brandhorsts in Cologne. The work exemplifies Twombly's characteristic gestural abstraction, where spontaneous marks and scrawled lines create a dynamic composition that bridges visual art and poetic language. As an artist's proof numbered XIII out of XV impressions, this print captures the ephemeral quality central to Twombly's practice, combining calligraphic gesture with intellectual engagement across disciplines.
- Medium
- Signed and numbered XIII/XV in pencil, further numbered XIII on the colophon (one of 15 impressions in Roman numerals, there were also 5 dedicated proofs lettered F-J), published by Udo and Anette Brandhorst, Cologne, unframed.
