FRANCIS, SAM
1923 San Mateo, CA/USA - 1994 Santa Monica, CA/USA
Title: Untitled.
Date: 1959.
Technique: Mixed media on paper.
Mounting: Mounted on canvas.
Measurement: 68.5 x 101cm.
This work is listed in the Sam Francis Foundation, Pasadena/CA, under the identification number SF59-074 and will be included in the catalogue raisonné of works on paper currently in preparation.
Provenance:
- Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia
Exhibitions:
- Galerie Schmela, Düsseldorf 1961
- Explosively gestural early work with an expressive contrast between white colour surfaces and the characteristic complementary colours
- In private hands for over 60 years
