The projected work is an abstract composition on a blue background complementing Georges Braque’s ceiling in the gallery next door, and includes reference names of the most celebrated classical Greek sculptors of the fourth century, reminding a series of paintings executed by the Twombly in the 1960s. Twombly’s work has often been characterized by a continuity between past and present, and this painted decoration is in many ways the culmination of years of artistic exploration.
