Description
Cy Twombly's assemblages are composed of humble everyday found objects, which he arranges in the form of magical objects or fetishes, later covering them in white paint. Thus placed in a new formal context, the original meaning of individual pieces is blurred, opening them up for a range of associations, which frequently refer to the expansive dimensions of cultural history. White is still the colour of Twombly's sculptures, and their light is white too. This dematerializes them, giving them a new identity and an aura of timeless poetry.
