Debra Burchett-Lere, Ed., Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Canvas and Panel Paintings, 1946-1994, Berkeley 2010, no. SFF.1671, illustrated in colour
Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the iridescent cream paint apparent in the original
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon close inspection there is very light intermittent wear to all four extreme edges and a tiny spot of loss towards the top right corner on the right extreme edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
