This work, one of Sam Francis' very first Edge pieces, is significant to the artist's personal history as it was completed prior to him moving full time to Tokyo in 1965. The colors in this piece are more vibrant and auspicious than in subsequent works from the series and is a testament to the very nature of Francis' lifelong formal discourse with color.
