Experience the Luminosity of Sam Francis: Basel Mural I

Elevate your interior with Basel Mural I, a cornerstone of 20th-century Lyrical Abstraction by Sam Francis. Originally commissioned for the Kunsthalle Basel in the late 1950s, this masterpiece represents the height of Francis's exploration into the 'interstices of light.' RedKalion is proud to offer this museum-quality reproduction, meticulously rendered to capture the artist's ethereal use of color and expansive white space.

The Intersection of Art History and Modern Innovation

Sam Francis was deeply influenced by Japanese aesthetics and French Impressionism, leading to a style where the void is as significant as the pigment. Our Sam Francis aluminum print is produced on premium Brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®, a choice that honors the artist's fascination with light. The 3mm (0.12") thick, rigid base features a horizontal grain that creates a dynamic, metallic silver effect in the unprinted areas, mirroring the shifting play of light found in the original mural.
