Travelling show debuted at the Getty and now opens at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

The measured result, which slightly surpassed its low estimate and the total take from the same sale last year, was bolstered by a late Cy Twombly that fetched $41.6m

An exhibition at the Getty focuses on Twombly’s early fascination with ancient Mediterranean cultures while a show of his later work at Gagosian gives a sense of how his practice changed and matured

Recent disputes over the dismantling, relocation or recontextualizing of site-specific works have underlined the limited protections for such art

The foundation said earlier this year that the “aggressive colours“ covering the walls “violated the harmonies“ of Twombly’s pale blue canopy

The US artist's foundation says that it was not consulted over the French museum's changes to the Salle des Bronzes—the Louvre argues it does not have to

Unusual $32m Jurassic-era offering stole the high-tech livestreamed show in New York, but buyers kept bids cautious elsewhere

New book asks if late US artist’s work should be read literally or literarily

Despite buy-ins, the sale saw several strong prices and records below the dizzy height of $450.3m for Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi
