Original lithograph printed in colors on BFK Rives wove paper. Proof impression, one of three unique color trial proofs apart from the numbered edition of 28, annotated in pencil lower left (overall edition of 35). Published by The Litho Shop, Inc., Santa Monica; printed by George Page, Dan Cytron and Keith Kirts at The Litho Shop. Sheet size: 69.8 x 105.1 cm (27 1/2 x 41 3/8 in) Image size: 69.8 x 105.1 cm (27 1/2 x 41 3/8 in) Frame size: 80.0 x 85.1 x 5.1 cm (31 1/2 x 33 1/2 x 2 in)// And Pink (SF-143) is a rare colour trial proof from 1973 — one of only three unique proofs apart from the numbered edition — that captures Sam Francis at a pivotal moment of chromatic experimentation. The lithograph radiates Francis's signature vocabulary of saturated colour pools: passages of pink, blue, yellow, and green flow and collide on BFK Rives wove paper with the luminous transparency that defines his best graphic work. As a trial proof, the print preserves the artist's exploratory process, each colour decision freshly made and not yet fixed by the constraints of editioning. This is an exceptionally rare window into the working method of one of the twentieth century's great colourists.

Who are the American Abstract Artists (AAA) ?
American Abstract Artists (AAA) is an organization founded in New York City in 1936 to promote abstract art and its appreciation in the United States. At a time when abstract art faced strong opposition from critics, the AAA provided crucial exhibition opportunities for abstract artists, helping to foster the growth and acceptance of the movement.
