Cy Twombly is one of the most prominent artists of our time. Although primarily known for his paintings and drawings, which have been exhibited widely throughout the world, he has been engaged in sculpture making from the outset of his career.

These works have come to the attention of the public through a recent exhibition that travelled to the Menil Collection in Houston during 2000.
