Label Text:Throughout his career, Cy Twombley has played with the idea of text—and of what “reads” as text to a modern viewer—without using actual language. Over time he has created a vocabulary of various signs and marks, sometimes sexually charged, that read on a metaphorical level rather than according to any form of traditional iconography.
