About the Item
SAM FRANCIS 1923-1994
San Mateo, California 1923 – 1994 Santa Monica (American)
Title: Untitled SF78-255 (Acrylic), 1978
Technique: Signed and Dated Acrylic on BFK Rives Paper
Paper size: 75 x 105 cm. / 29.5 x 41.3 in.
Additional Information: This is an acrylic painting on wove paper by Sam Francis.
It was painted in 1978.
It is hand signed and dated in pencil “Sam Francis 1978” verso. It bears three ink stamps of the Sam Francis Estate, verso.
The paper bears the BFK Rives watermark.
This work is identified with the interim identification number of SF78-255 in consideration for the forthcoming Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Unique Works on Paper.
Note:
This work presents an interesting insight into the working practices of the Sam Francis. Although the biomorphic green and pink acrylic was painted in 1978, it was executed on the reverse of a screenprint
created by the artist in 1972. The screenprint, titled “Of Vega” (Lembark S. 6) is designated in the catalogue raisonné as a ‘special proof’ (due to the paper used) and only one other impression was recorded.
The published standard edition of the work, “Of Vega” is a four colour screenprint, our impression has three of the four and so it was created during the artistic proofing process. The action to repurpose the screenprint is deliberate by the artist, as the acrylic
has been signed and dated “Sam Francis 1978” in the centre of the sheet, verso.
