Cy Twombly's distinctive artistic style fused together expressive drips, frenzied scribbles, and sweeping, calligraphic lines to create compositions brimming with lyrical abstractions. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of sources, he seamlessly blended the bold brushwork reminiscent of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline with the avant-garde techniques of Dadaist cut-ups and the precision of scientific illustration. Within his creations, Twombly's mark-making transcended mere notation, oscillating between associative symbolism and evocative romanticism.

His influential works have graced galleries in cities worldwide and found homes in prestigious collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Centre Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim, among numerous others. Commanding prices in the tens of millions on the secondary market, Twombly's artistic legacy remains unparalleled.

Beyond his acclaimed paintings, Twombly delved into multimedia sculpture and collage creation, while also nurturing a consistent practice in photography.
