Cy Twombly: Making Past Present

Transform your living space into a lovely tableau with a carefully-selected collection of books. Sourced in collaboration with Maison Plage, each book can be stack and layered adding a vibrant touch to the coffee table, mantle, or entry console when paired with a fresh vase of florals.

Making Past Present celebrates the unveiling of Twombly's carefully curated selection of ancient Greek and Roman artworks, which he kept in his private spaces, joined by other antiquities and supplemented by a range of post-1959 Italian-made paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures and photographs. An impressive number of 170 artworks are illustrated in vibrant color, complemented by essays crafted by literary luminaries, Anne Carson, Jennifer R. Gross, Brooke Holmes, Mary Jacobus, Christine Kondoleon and Kate Nesin.
