Fire (artist proof) 1971

"Fire (artist proof)," a 1971 work by American artist Sam Gilliam, is a vibrant abstract lithograph. The piece features a horizontal band of fiery orange, bordered by cool blues and greens. The artist's signature, along with the date and "Fire AP", is visible in the bottom right corner. Gilliam, known for his groundbreaking contributions to Color Field painting and abstract art, often explored the relationship between color and form in his work. This print, with its striking color contrasts and dynamic composition, is a testament to his mastery of the medium.
