Photographs III

Photographs III. 1951-2010 is a Schirmer/Mosel volume on Cy Twombly's photography, published in 2011 to accompany his exhibition at the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Siegen.

The book collects roughly 130 previously unpublished photographs spanning six decades, combining early student work with flower studies, studio interiors, and photographic studies of Twombly's own paintings and sculptures. An essay by art and photo historian Hubertus von Amelunxen accompanies the plates. The clothbound hardcover runs 181 pages.

Twombly is best known for large-scale abstract paintings built from scrawled marks and text fragments, but he photographed privately throughout his career. Photographs III is the third in a series of Schirmer/Mosel volumes devoted to this side of his work, following earlier collections of his photographs published by the same house.
