Basel Mural I: An Immersion into Sam Francis’s Luminous Abstraction

Elevate your interior with Basel Mural I, a cornerstone of mid-century abstract expressionism by the legendary Sam Francis. Originally commissioned for the Kunsthalle Basel in the late 1950s, this masterpiece represents a pivotal moment in Francis’s career, where he mastered the interplay between vibrant, fluid pigments and the evocative power of the 'white void'. Our museum-quality reproduction captures every nuanced splatter and organic form that defines his signature Tachisme style.

The RedKalion Archival Standard

At RedKalion, we believe fine art prints should be as enduring as the history they represent. This Sam Francis wall art is rendered on 4mm (0.15") acrylic, a material chosen for its ability to enhance the depth and luminosity of Francis’s color palette. The acrylic finish provides a sleek, glass-like surface that protects the artwork from UV damage and moisture, ensuring your fine art print remains a vibrant centerpiece for generations.

Exquisite Design and Modern Installation

This 70x100 cm (28x40″) Sam Francis print features contemporary straight-cut corners and a refined transparent-to-white background transition for optimal visual clarity. To facilitate a seamless gallery-style display, each piece includes a premium hanging kit: 15mm (0.6") screw heads, hardware, and pre-drilled holes positioned 14mm from the edge. This design ensures the artwork sits elegantly off the wall, creating a sophisticated floating effect that complements modern and classical aesthetics alike.

What is the historical significance of Sam Francis's 'Basel Mural I'?

Created between 1956 and 1958, Basel Mural I is part of a series that defined Sam Francis’s exploration of scale and the 'void'. It represents his transition into large-format abstract expressionism, focusing on the luminosity of color against expansive white space.

What technique did Sam Francis use for the original work?

Francis utilized a technique associated with Tachisme, involving controlled splattering and dripping of fluid oil paints. This method emphasized the physical movement of the artist and the organic, cellular structures of the pigment on the canvas.

What are the physical specifications of the RedKalion acrylic print?

The print is crafted from 4mm (0.15") high-grade acrylic with straight-cut corners. This provides a durable, vibrant, and shatter-resistant finish that offers superior depth compared to traditional glass-framed prints.

Does the print include mounting hardware?

Yes, each print includes a complete hanging kit with screws and hardware. The acrylic features four pre-drilled holes (8mm diameter) located 14mm from each corner, designed to fit the provided 15mm screw heads for a secure, modern mount.

How does the acrylic material affect the archival longevity of the print?

Acrylic is naturally UV-resistant and moisture-proof, protecting the museum-quality inks from fading or degradation. This archival-grade approach ensures the Sam Francis print retains its original color intensity for decades without yellowing.

How is the artwork packaged for shipping?

RedKalion utilizes professional-grade, shock-absorbent packaging specifically designed for large-format acrylic. Each piece is securely braced to prevent corner damage or surface scratching during transit to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.

Will the colors in the print match the digital representation?

RedKalion uses high-fidelity color profiling to ensure our Sam Francis wall art matches the artist's original intent. While screen calibrations vary, our acrylic prints are known for their exceptional color accuracy and radiant brilliance.
