Tatia Franchetti Twombly - Stella Honey
Stella Honey brings together over a hundred never-before-seen images from the archive of Italian photographer Tatia Franchetti Twombly. In 2016, Maia Twombly – granddaughter of Tatiana and Cy Twombly – uncovered a hidden collection of photographic negatives tucked away in the attic of the family home. What emerges is less a discovery than a slow recognition – an archive beginning in 1948 and extending, with a quiet insistence, into the twentieth century. Seen together, the images bring to light an artist long kept in the shadow of a more public name. The book is accompanied by texts from Maia Twombly, Isabella Ducrot, Nicholas Cullinan, and Jonah Freud. Featuring over one hundred duotone plates, Stella Honey establishes itself as a vital and long overdue contribution to understanding Tatia Franchetti Twombly’s work.
