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.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
