The relatively rare sculptures in Twombly’s oeuvre are often unstable constructions of found materials, unified by white paint. Only through bronze castings is their permanence ensured. In Bassano in Teverina in the summer of 1979, the artist cast forms for the first time from a mixture of plaster and sand. With two round discs and a triangular disc inserted between them, he invokes the image of an antique chariot and, with the juxtaposition of circles and straight lines, conjures up the elemental power of attack and directionality. The sculpture was acquired by the Friends in 1994.
