This long-awaited and innovative catalogue raisonne chronicles in full, for the first time, the complete artistic journey of California-born abstract expressionist Sam Francis (1923-1994). One of the twentieth century's leading interpreters of light and color, Francis maintained studios in Bern, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo, making him the first post-World War II American painter whose reach was truly international. Throughout a long and prolific career, Francis created thousands of paintings as well as works on paper, prints, and monotypes. His work holds references to New York abstract expressionism, color field painting, Chinese and Japanese art, French impressionism, and his own Bay Area roots.The "Sam Francis Catalogue Raisonne"--a groundbreaking publication that will never go out of date--consists of an amply illustrated volume and two spectacular DVDs, which together hold images of the more than 1,850 works documented to date, of which hundreds are reproduced for the first time. The DVDs also includes rare film of the artist at work. The volume features William C. Agee's masterful essay, full documentation, and a biographical timeline compiled by Debra Burchett-Lere. Purchasers will have access to electronic updates mounted on the Foundation's website as they become available, making "Sam Francis" the premiere catalogue raisonne for twenty-first century readers.
