Note du spécialiste

This work is identified with the interim identification number of SF92-55 in consideration for the forthcoming Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Unique Works on Paper. This information is subject to change as scholarship continues by the Sam Francis Foundation.

“Once more, then, in this fresh exuberance of color—an art, like Suprematism of pure feeling—we find a quasi-geometric structure, a brilliant fusion of those old opposites, the organic and the stable, which had informed Francis’s art from the start.”

William C. Agee, Sam Francis: Paintings 1947-1990, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, 1999, pp. 42-43.
