About the Item

Richard Segalman “The Deep Blue Sea” Pastel on Paper framed in a silver brushed metal frame with a deep cut white mat. Art work size is 24 wide x 18 inches tall. Framed size is 35 wide and 29 inches tall x 1 inch thick. Richard Segalman was born in Coney Island, on March 13, 1934 and died on July 6, 2021, at age 87. He lived in Woodstock, NY, and Greenwich Village. His artwork is in the permanent collections of over 40 museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, and Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. “My first influence was being surrounded by hats, color and fabric,” he once wrote. “My mother was a milliner. Being in this atmosphere, began my life in art. I saw the work of Degas, Sargent and Sorolla and it was like coming home.” Working in oil, watercolor, pastel and later, monotype, he is best known for capturing the light and beauty of women, clothed in luminous dresses, in the lofts and on the rooftops and stoops of Manhattan, and on the beaches of Naples, Florida, and Coney Island. Richard was born in Coney Island, on March 13, 1934. Much of Richard’s teenage years were spent walking the Coney Island beach and city streets, riding the subways, alone, doing what he would do most of his life: watching people, observing everything, and always drawing. “I wanted to be an artist since I can remember. I loved drawing,” he said. “It’s the only thing that ever felt right.” In the 1950s Segalman graduated from the Parsons School of Design, joined the Army, was honorably discharged after service in Germany, and began his lifelong visits to Naples, Florida, where his aunt and uncle had opened The Anchor Bar, which became a fixture of the community. The very first showing of Richard’s work, charcoal drawings, was in that bar; they sold for $5. Soon after, Rosemary Robinson hosted his first formal show in her Naples gallery. Segalman’s only job ever — apart from his art — was a brief stint as file clerk at the Ford Foundation. Beginning in the 1960s Segalman’s watercolors and oils were shown by such prominent New York galleries as: the Davis Gallery, the Graham Gallery, Kornbluth Gallery (Fairlawn, NJ) and Katarina Rich Perlow Gallery; as well as The Meyer-Munson Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, and Harmon-Meek Gallery in Naples, Fl. Beginning in 2006, the Marlborough Gallery in New York exhibited his monotypes.
