About the Item
Untitled (SF63-039) is an acrylic painting on paper, with an image size of 41 x 27.5 inches, signed 'Sam Francis' verso, and framed in a contemporary light wood frame.
Untitled, 1963 (SF63-039) reflects Francis’s improving health after a brutal bout with renal tuerculosis and foreshadows the ‘edge’ and ‘sail’ paintings that would proliferate in the mid to late 60s. The balls and cellular-like forms of his ‘blue balls’ period have subsided and are pushed out to the edges of this work leaving a vast white area of peace and introspection. The work is one of his more minimalist takes on the paintings that became known as his ‘Bright Ring Period.’ There is a conspicuous element of almost peaceful relief in this spare work as a blue ball, engulfed by yellow, is nearly pushed out of the picture plane. Francis would create many works like this between ’63 and ’65 which all suggest the power and joy of health returning.
This work is identified with the archival identification number of SF63-039 in consideration for the forthcoming addendum to the Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Unique Works on paper, to be published by the Sam Francis Foundation. This information is subject to change as scholarship continues by the Sam Francis Foundation.
