Curator's Notes

Timothy Richards makes architectural models in plaster. He has built a collection of over 200 models. Now in his tenth workshop, he remains the only person living to have developed such work. The origins of this quality of plasterwork date back to the Fouquet’s who worked in Paris between 1780 and 1830. Tim has built a network of collectors in America and England over a quarter of a century.
