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.

- Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on CanvasBy Andrea SpinelliLocated in Firenze, ITThe present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities.

The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...Category
