Lot Essay

It is important to note the way in which the artist chose to display this example of Roman Notes. According to the publisher, Hans Neuendorf, it was Cy Twombly's preference that this set be displayed laid down on canvas and combined to create one whole coherent image, to be viewed unglazed - thereby creating more of a sense of immediacy between composition and viewer.
