Cy Twombly Froggie

a tacky porcelain frog, seated like cy twombly would sit on the bench outside the walmart near lexington, with his hands on his belly, sits on a white pedestal surrounded by other white pedestals in twombly's storefront studio. sally mann took this pic, and this is a screnshot from the ny public library talk excerpt about this photo, so the seo caption is cy twombly and froggie by sally man, live from the nypl

This screenshot from months ago was mis-saved into my research folder for an article I’m tryna finish, no idea why. But the story Sally Mann told about this photo is less interesting than the photo itself, and much less interesting than the fact that Twombly had this junk store froggie in his Lexington studio and called it Froggie. It’s in her Twombly photos book.

I think the frog is only like 3.5 inches tall.

[update: nvm, Tacita Dean photographed it too, and it is three apples tall.]
