Sam Francis
American · 1923
Sam Francis was one of the most internationally celebrated American painters of the postwar era, bridging Abstract Expressionism and Color Field with luminous fields of poured and splashed color set against expanses of open white. Shaped by time in Paris, Tokyo and California, and by his study of Monet and Zen aesthetics, Francis created a body of work that feels at once explosive and serene. A prolific and masterful printmaker, his editions are widely collected and support a deep, liquid international market alongside his paintings and works on paper. Rosenfeld Gallery handles secondary-market works by Sam Francis across these mediums. To acquire or sell a Sam Francis, contact us for confidential advice on value, edition and provenance.
