Guffwatch - Twombly edition
November 9 2015
Video: Sotheby's
Last year, Guffwatch spotted Christie's recycling catalogue text from one Twombly blackboard painting to another. It was the usual guffy nonsense.
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?
