Twombly carefully managed his own image, writing almost nothing about his life and work, and giving only a handful of interviews. Through years of scholarship and archival research, first-person interviews, and a sensitive eye to Twombly's art, Joshua Rivkin--who received a Fulbright grant to pursue this story--separates the myth from the reality to bring to life a more complicated and fascinating Twombly than we've ever known.","brand":"Melville House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018546725104,"sku":"9781612197180","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612197180_p0.jpg?v=1763845245","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612197180","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
