Lithograph in colors, on Rives BFK paper // 'Dark Cup (SF-141)' by Sam Francis, created in 1973, is a powerful lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s signature abstract expressionist style. The composition is dominated by dynamic splatters, drips, and splashes of deep black ink, layered intricately across a white background. The bold, gestural marks create a sense of chaotic energy while simultaneously inviting introspection. Measuring 70.2 x 105.4 cm, this work showcases Francis’s mastery of balancing spontaneity with deliberate composition, offering viewers a visceral encounter with abstraction and the expressive possibilities of lithography.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
