Cy Twombly: Bacchus Carhartt Rashid JohnsonThis book was published on the occasion of Cy Twombly: Bacchus, an exhibition of eight monumental paintings and a sculpture at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York. Fleshy grounds are activated with expansive, dripping loops of red oil paint. Completed in 2005, the canvases recall the gestural force of Twomblys Blackboard paintings from the mid 1960s, continuing his ongoing search for universal truths to be found in the annals of myth and history.
