Aquarelle, Gouachen und Tuschen aus allen Schaffensphasen, Galerie Sander, Darmstadt, April 3 - June 1998. “This results in glimpses of infinity; an eternal continuum, a spatial continuum. The question or demand for a single center does not arise. Instead, we are confronted with the phenomenon of immediate perception, the visual identification with color spaces.” Norbert Messler, Kunstforum Vol. 129, 1995, p. 356 Called up: June 6, 2025 - ca. 17.32 h +/- 20 min.

This painting on paper is part of a series of studies that Francis created for a mural in Bonn, Germany, in 1992.
• Sam Francis at his best: floating weightlessness and dynamic colors in an impressive format.
• A vibrant dialog between color and space with a wonderful material aesthetic.
• Francis" lyrical abstractions present color as a glowing all-over painting made of dripping, sweeping, opaque brushstrokes and impasto dabs of color.
• In private ownership for more than 25 years
.
