150Cy purchased the palazzo in 1975. It was used as his country house and summer studio when he was not in Rome or Gaeta. Cy rarely opened up the Bassano home to the outside world, inviting only family and close collaborators to visit, intimately painting some of his career’s most significant works within its walls. Since 2021, Twombly’s family have renovated the palazzo and transformed it into a foundation, which hosts occasional exhibitions (and builds dialogues between living artists and Twombly’s own work).
This specific show of Ackermann is inspired by one of Twombly’s largest works: ‘Treatise on the Veil (Second Version)’ (1970). A 33ft-long canvas, in the style of his Blackboard series, it is said to be a response to ‘The Veil of Orpheus’, a 1950s musique concrète (a composition that uses recorded sounds) which opens with the slow tearing of a piece of cloth. Featured within the show, Ackermann has created an incredible chalkboard mural, titled ‘Ubiquitous (Outside of Time and Space)’, using the exact dimensions of the original work.

My office view for the day. On the wall is a small Rothko from 1968 — one of the few acrylic on paper works he created. Rothko then mounted the paper on a panel, wrapping the edges over the panel so the paint would spill over onto the sides.

An evening in Italy to visit Cy Twombly’s former home in Bassano in Teverina, where an incredible exhibition of works by Hungarian-born artist, Rita Ackermann, has just been unveiled.
