What is the quality of the paper used for the Sam Francis Blue 47 print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival-grade paper. This museum-quality material is acid-free and uncoated, ensuring the vibrant blues of the Sam Francis print remain pristine and fade-resistant for decades.
How is the frame constructed?
Each frame is crafted from FSC-certified oak or ash wood with a black finish. It features a premium 20mm thickness, providing a sturdy, gallery-standard aesthetic that is significantly more durable than standard 14mm frames.
Is the artwork protected against damage?
Yes, your Blue 47 print is shielded by shatterproof plexiglass. This provides the clarity of traditional glass while offering superior durability and protection against UV rays and physical impact during shipping and display.
How do I hang my framed Sam Francis print?
Every RedKalion framed print arrives ready-to-hang. We include a complete hanging kit integrated into the back of the frame, allowing you to mount your 70x100 cm artwork effortlessly upon arrival.
Is the production process environmentally sustainable?
Sustainability is core to our mission. We use FSC-certified wood for our frames and paper, ensuring that all materials are sourced responsibly and meet the highest environmental and social standards.
What inspired Sam Francis to create "Blue 47"?
Francis was deeply influenced by the concept of 'the void' and French Impressionist Monet. "Blue 47" reflects his fascination with light and liquid color, using blue to represent both the infinite sky and deep psychological states.
Why is the use of white space significant in this piece?
Known as 'the space between,' Francis used white backgrounds as an active element, not just a canvas. In "Blue 47," the white space creates a luminous field that allows the blue pigments to breathe and expand.
