What makes Sam Gilliam's Buoy Landscape II historically significant?
Buoy Landscape II showcases Sam Gilliam's evolution within the Washington Color School. It demonstrates his mastery of rhythmic abstraction and color field theory, bridging the gap between structure and fluid expressionism in 20th-century American art.
What are the specifications of the paper used for this print?
This print utilizes 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival-quality paper. The uncoated matte finish ensures a glare-free viewing experience, while the 0.29 mm thickness provides the substantial feel of a gallery-original work.
How does the frame compare to standard gallery frames?
Our frames are superior in build, measuring 20mm in width and thickness. Crafted from sustainably sourced oak and ash, the black wooden frame provides a more robust and premium presence than the standard 14mm alternatives.
