Sad news to hear that Twombly died yesterday, aged 83. A difficult artist to like at times with his delicate touch. More appreciated in Italy where he lived out his final days. I always saw him as thebridge between the American Abstract Expressionists and the Basquait era graftti artists that subsequently led to the current obsession with street art. His work was never easy to read but gentle on the eye, a subtlety lost to his legacy.
His time was of Jasper Johns, Robert Schauschenburg though his work has stod the test of time far betterthan hi contempraries. A sad loss.
