TWOMBLY MUSEUM AND EDUCATIONAL CENTER TO OPEN IN NEW YORK

Carol Vogel of the New York Times reports that the Cy Twombly Foundation is set to open a museum and education center in New York. On Tuesday, the foundation purchased a twenty-five-foot-wide Beaux Arts mansion at Nineteen East Eighty-second Street for $27.5 million. Nicola Del Roscio, a longtime companion of Twombly’s and president of his foundation, stated that the artist is “a towering figure of American art. It is only fitting that there should be a permanent space in New York dedicated to his achievements.”
