The Space of Effusion: Sam Francis in Japan

Richard Speer
Edited and with a foreword by Debra Burchett-Lere

“Now that we are deprived of the pleasure of going to museums to experience art first-hand, I found myself enjoying the silky texture of the book cover and its equally silky at-touch pages inside. Going through the multiple reproductions and photos, gave me a sensation that I’m traveling along with Francis to Japan.” — Edward Goldman
