Cy Twombly, Exhibition Poster, 1980

Produced on the occasion of Cy Twombly’s 1980 exhibition at Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris, this poster was designed by the artist at a pivotal moment in his career and is offered here as a first edition, printed in 1980 at the time of the exhibition. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures of postwar abstraction, Twombly developed a singular visual language that bridged painting, drawing, and writing—imbuing gesture with literary and historical resonance.

Rendered in soft tonal hues, the composition features his characteristic calligraphic script, evoking a sense of intimacy and immediacy. Rather than functioning purely as promotional material, the poster stands as a work in its own right—capturing Twombly’s enduring dialogue between text, memory, and abstraction.

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