We can’t get enough of the crazy-good abstract pieces curated by Bridget Carron at Saatchi Art this week.  The inspiration?  The work of none other than Cy Twombly.

Edwin Parker “Cy” Twombly, Jr. (/s ˈtwɒmbli/; April 25, 1928 – July 5, 2011[1]) was an American painter of large-scale, freely scribbled, calligraphic and graffiti-like works on solid fields of mostly gray, tan, or off-white colors. His paintings are in the permanent collections of the New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the Musée du Louvre in Paris.  {via Wikipedia}

A small variety of Cy Twombly prints (sampling above) are available for purchase.  The originals?  Best plan a trip to the MOMA and call it a day.

But what about these works available for purchase on Saatchi Art inspired by his style?  They are just fantastic– and the artist true original work can be purchased for a range of prices (most with very affordable print versions for sale as well).  Here are a few of our favorites…
