Stamped and signed on the reverse, also bearing the estate stamp and inscribed "SF82-263" in another hand. Registered in the archive of the Sam Francis Foundation, Glendale, USA for the online Catalogue Raisonné Project under number SF82-263. // This untitled acrylic on paper from 1982 demonstrates Sam Francis at the height of his mature period, presenting a densely saturated all-over composition of reds, blues, teals, greens, and blacks. The explosive arrangement of splatters and poured pigment fills the picture plane with characteristic chromatic intensity, leaving minimal white ground visible. Registered with the Sam Francis Foundation under SF82-263, the work reflects Francis's ongoing dialogue with Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting, channeling the luminous energy and gestural freedom that defined his contribution to postwar American abstraction.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
