Bring the Luminous Abstraction of Sam Francis Into Your Space

Experience the profound energy of Basel Mural I, a masterpiece by the renowned American abstract expressionist Sam Francis. Originally commissioned for the Kunsthalle Basel in the late 1950s, this work represents a pivotal moment in 20th-century art, where Francis moved away from dense compositions toward a philosophy of 'active' white space. This museum-quality reproduction captures the ethereal spatters of vibrant pigment and the deep, contemplative voids that define Francis’s signature style.

Unrivaled Print Quality and Materiality

At RedKalion, we believe a masterpiece deserves a presentation that honors its legacy. This fine art print is rendered on 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. The paper is natural white, uncoated, and features a refined matte finish that eliminates glare, allowing the subtle nuances of Francis's palette to resonate. With a thickness of 0.29 mm (11.4 mils), the paper provides a substantial, premium feel that ensures the longevity of your investment.

Exquisite Framing and Sustainable Craftsmanship

Your Sam Francis reproduction arrives housed in a premium black wooden frame crafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash. Diverging from standard 14mm frames, our frames are 20mm (0.79") thick and wide, providing a bold, gallery-standard profile. Each piece is protected by shatterproof, transparent plexiglass, ensuring the artwork remains pristine for generations. This ready-to-hang piece includes a professional hanging kit, allowing you to elevate your interior instantly with an archival masterpiece that endures.

An Insight into the Artist’s Technique

Sam Francis was deeply influenced by Japanese aesthetics and the concept of 'ma'—the pure space between things. In Basel Mural I, the white background is not merely an empty canvas but a structural element of the composition. By using FSC-certified materials, RedKalion ensures that your appreciation for art aligns with a commitment to environmental stewardship, delivering a piece that is as ethical as it is beautiful.
