Robert Loughlin (1949 – 2011) “The 7,” 24 x 24 inch oil on vintage NYC 7 train subway aluminum sign. Signiert unten rechts. Provenance: Collection of Patrick Parris
Loughlin was an artist and quirky sage of Modernist design whose work as a "picker" and dealer in 20th-century furnishings influenced high-end interior decoration in the United States even though he chose to live in a trailer park with his partner Gary Carlson..
Collectors and decorators anointed Mr. Loughlin a celebrity soon after he arrived in New York in the 1980s, seeing in him an unusual amalgam of talents that set him apart from most pickers, the forward scouts who prospect and supply dealers with their wares. Equal parts artist, art historian, scavenger and horse-trader, Mr. Loughlin schooled a generation of collectors in the high quality of half-forgotten Modern and mid-century designers — not by writing or lecturing about them, but by scouring flea markets and thrift stores for discarded pieces of their work, and selling them.
