Cy Twombly triptych painting called "Three studies from the Temeraire", part of the Art Gallery of
New South Wales collection. Three Studies from the Temeraire by abstract artist Cy Twombly was
purchased by the Art Gallery of NSW for $4.5 million Australian Dollars in 2004.

"This is a great independent work of art by the most influential, and certainly distinctive and independent
artists of our time. The acquisition of this triptych is in many ways a one-off - it is a great, empowered
and individual moment that both lifts and expands the Gallery's collections and its image."
Edmund Capon, Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales

A painting by Anselm Kiefer can be seen in the distance. Photo taken in the museum in 2008.
