This contemporary rug, after Sam Francis – Untitled, translates into textile form the chromatic energy and gestural freedom of one of the greatest exponents of lyrical abstraction in the 20th century. Entirely handmade and hand-knotted, it features a silky wool pile on a cotton foundation, offering remarkable suppleness, a refined feel, and excellent craftsmanship. Its rich polychromy evokes the splashes of color and luminous spaces that characterize Sam Francis's work. Measuring 200 x 300 cm (79 x 118 in), this rug makes a major decorative piece for a contemporary interior, gallery, or textile art collection. Its very good overall condition and the quality of its weave make it as aesthetically pleasing as it is enduring. Sam Francis (1923-1994) was a major American painter associated with abstract expressionism and lyrical abstraction. Renowned for his ethereal compositions and masterful use of color, he has had a lasting influence on contemporary art. His works find a natural extension in textiles, where material and color reveal their full intensity.
