Making the Past Present: Cy Twombly  was a major retrospective presented by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, bringing together artworks, photographs, and archival material to examine Twombly’s dialogue with antiquity. Service Studio contributed to the exhibition’s visual materials, developing layouts and graphic assets that supported the curatorial framework while remaining sensitive to Twombly’s expressive, calligraphic language.

The work also extended to the design and layout of the exhibition’s hardcover catalogue, co-published with Gagosian. Essays, artwork plates, and archival material were translated into a cohesive publication through restrained typography, careful pacing, and generous negative space, allowing the artwork and scholarship to remain primary.

Across exhibition materials and print production, the design approach balanced contemporary clarity with respect for the visual rhythms within Twombly’s work, resulting in assets that feel both precise and aligned with the artist’s poetic, gestural sensibility.
