Guffwatch - Twombly edition

November 9 2015

Video: Sotheby's

But Sotheby's (who have another Twombly blackboard picture to sell next week in New York) has managed to write a catalogue entry that actually makes sense, and is well written. And their video, above, narrated by Sotheby's vice-chairman Anthony Grant, is good too. What's going on?
