Information about the work:
Sam Francis is represented in the world’s leading international museums, such as the Guggenheim Museum (New York), the MoMA (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Tate Modern (London), the SFMOMA, and LACMA, making him not only a major figure of postwar abstraction but also a very good investment in the art market.
Sam Francis is the light that explodes in abstraction. A painter of cosmic breath, of broad gesture, of emptiness charged with energy. Heir to American Abstract Expressionism, he paints as one breathes— in bursts, in silences, in vibrant saturations. Each canvas is a field of intensity where white is never empty but waiting, and where color does not describe anything—it embodies.
Francis does not compose; he lets things come to be. And it is in this suspension, between chaos and balance, that the work finds its strength.
An art of breath, of rhythm, of the invisible made visible.
