- RICHARD ROYAL - RELATIONSHIP SERIESTitle
RICHARD ROYAL - RELATIONSHIP SERIESTitle of Artwork: Relationship Series (1995) Dimensions: 30h x 7.25 dia Signed: 'Richard Royal 1995' Medium: Blown glass Richard Royal, a native of the Northwest, is recognized internationally as one of the most skilled and talented glassblowers in the studio glass movement. Royal began working as a glass sculptor in 1978 at the Pilchuck Glass School, located north of Seattle. After spending a number of years as a ceramist, the birth of a new artistic movement appealed to the young artist. Royal worked his way through the ranks to find himself as one of Dale Chihuly’s main gaffers. This relationship lasted for a number of years and consequently led to Royal’s emergence in the art market in the 1980s. Royal has since been an independent artist exhibiting work internationally in both solo and group exhibitions. Royal’s work is found in such noteworthy museum collections as The Mint Museum of Art + Design, The High Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, The Tampa Museum of Art, and the Daiichi Museum (Japan). Royal was one of the first Artists-in-Residences at the Waterford Crystal Factory and he continues to teach as both a guest artist and faculty member at various universities and the Pilchuck Glass School. His artwork is also included in the SAFECO Collection, PricewaterhouseCoopers, IBM, and the Westinghouse Corporation.

Condition:
The painting has been relined. There is craquelure throughout the work. Along the upper right margin there is a network of small paint losses; visible in the lot listing. When inspected under UV light there appear to be small restorations and inpainting throughout. Just above the sleeping cat there appears to be a repaired tear measuring approx. 3 inches in length. Inpainting visible along all the figures. Due to a thick varnish it is difficult to determine exactly the extent of the restorations. Major losses to the gilt frame along the edges. The edges are not stable which may result in further losses. Many of the pieces that have broken off are included with the artwork but not attached.
