CY TWOMBLY (EDWIN PARKER) / Chalkboard painting on panel, measuring 45x35 inches with the frame and 40 x 30 inches without it. The custom frame and the backing appear to be in untouched vintage condition. Cy Twombly's chalkboard series feature childlike scribbles which are sophistically executed in aims of achieving higher aesthetic goals. Mixing graffiti and drawing paved the way for younger generation artist and opened new horizons for the artists him self as he created his memorable "Roses" some years later. Signature and date are on the verso in felt pen inscribed two times (almost customary for this artist). Most impressive piece. Provenance: Private collection purchase. Cy Twombly-after. International buyers may not be able to receive the frame due to size.
