Cy Twombly’s sculptures take effect at first glance as amorphous clumps knocked together out of everyday materials, bandaged up in seemingly improvised fashion, daubed with gypsum, also cast in bronze. These sculptures and their rough surface character recall starkly weathered archaeological finds. Time seems to have left its traces in these ruins.
