Remembered Light: Cy Twombly in Lexington

Remembered Light presents an intimate visual dialogue between two masters.

The artists Cy Twombly and Sally Mann shared an unexpected, profound connection rooted in the landscape of rural Lexington, Virginia. While Twombly became one of the most significant figures in contemporary art through his enigmatic, poetry-infused abstract paintings and sculptures, Mann established herself as a master photographer capturing the raw emotion and spirit of the American South.

Over several years, Mann photographed inside Twombly's quiet Virginia studio--capturing paint-splattered floors, works in progress, sculptures catching the soft light through Venetian blinds, and the organic transition from order to chaos that defined his workspace.

Featuring an essay by renowned historian Simon Schama and a conversation between Sally Mann and celebrated author Edmund de Waal, this exquisite volume offers a rare insider's view of Twombly's creative process and a moving testament to artistic friendship, place, and memory.

The book includes 58 duotone and four-color illustrations.
