The exhibition Cy Twombly . Photographs 1951-2010 presents more than 100 dry prints, generated from Polaroid photographs, which were selected in close cooperation with the artist himself prior to his death on July 5th, 2011. Cy Twombly s photographs have been a rather recent discovery. Snapping photographs with his Polaroid camera since his student days, the artist did not make available to the public his photographic material until the 90s. The subject matter of his photographs varies considerably. From still-life images of flowers and brushes, snap shots of his studio and museums interiors, details from his paintings to views of ancient temples and atmospheric landscapes, the ethereal and delicate photographs reveal the themes that have nourished the artists paintings, drawings, sculptures and graphic art. The exhibition will include a number of paintings by Cy Twombly , in provenance from private collections across Belgium. The intimate cinematic portrait Edwin Parker by artist Tacita Dean will be featured in this tribute exhibition to the recently deceased greatest artist of our times.
