Cy Twombly, Exhibition Poster, 1980

Designed by Cy Twombly on the occasion of Artemesia, a group exhibition held at Galleria Ugo Ferranti in 1980, this poster is offered here as a first edition, printed in Rome at the time of the exhibition. It reflects Twombly’s singular position within postwar abstraction, where gesture, text, and historical reference converge into a visual language that is both immediate and deeply evocative.

The composition renders the exhibition text in his characteristically fluid, calligraphic hand, drifting subtly across the surface. Infused with a sense of movement and openness, the work blurs the line between communication and abstraction—where script becomes image, and meaning remains suggestive rather than fixed.

The poster is sold unframed. Framed image is shown for presentation and installation reference only.
