On the Grid : Cy Twombly Gallery

"On the Menil Campus facing an incredible live oak tree, sits a small gallery devoted to the works of Cy Twombly. Natural light diffuses through sailcloth ceilings casting the large-scale paintings and minimal space in a soft light. Much like the main building of the collection, the presentation honors the work. Twombly was involved from its inception, sketching a design for architect Renzo Piano and deciding how to fill each of its rooms. It's not often that you can experience an artist's works in this way. With time, my own fondness for abstract painting has grown, and it's mostly thanks to the Twombly gallery." - Curiosity and Curiosities
