From the publisher's website: "Coronation of Sesostris (2000) is a painting cycle in ten parts. Begun in Gaeta, Italy, and completed in Lexington, Virginia, it combines Twombly’s graphic inventiveness and poetic sense of history, rhythm, and elision." Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the Gagosian Gallery from November 11, 2000, to January 27, 2001.
