Description from the seller

An exceptional original aquatint by Sam Francis, an undisputed master of global Abstract Expressionism. This 1973 work is a rare collector's piece from a very limited edition of artist's proofs.

The Work: A vibrant composition where the mastery of aquatint allows for transparencies and color depths unique to the artist's "Dripping" and "Color Field" style.

Rarity: Numbered 6/8 A.P. (Artist's Proof). Traditionally reserved for the artist, these proofs are highly sought after as they represent the most intimate part of the edition.

Signature: Hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right.

Dimensions: Sheet: 63 x 89.5 cm | Image: 40 x 45 cm.

Framing: Housed in a premium custom frame. The professional mounting follows strict conservation standards to protect the wove paper and highlight its generous margins. The piece is ready for immediate display.

Condition: Very good condition. Vibrant colors and very fresh paper.
