Sam Francis at his best: a sense of floating lightness and dynamic colors in a large format.
• The irregular color patches seem to extend beyond the edges of the paper, suggesting a sense of spatial depth and motion.
• Other works by the artist from the 1980s are at, among others, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
.

The work is registered with the Sam Francis Foundation, Glendale, California, under the number “SF89-302” and is listed in the online Catalogue Raisonné.
