About the Item
"Global Marine Oil Workers"
Artist: Robert Lavin
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 39" x 64"
Framed
In 1980, Charles Russel Luigs, CEO of Global Marine Inc. commissioned painter Robert Lavin to create a scene of the companies’ workers drilling oil on an offshore rig. Luigs held great admiration and gratitude for the oil workers who provided the backbone of Global Marine’s operations. Luigs was known to put on a hardhat and coveralls, and join crews of workers to work alongside them on the rigs. When the workers found out that Luigs was among them, they would ask him to excuse himself as a matter of safety.
Luigs cherished his interactions with the workers and hired Lavin, a social realist painter who was lauded for his true-to-life depictions of industry from the workers’ point of view. The completed painting hung in the Global Marine board room as a reminder of the folks who ensure Global Marine’s operation through their hard work, bravery and dedication.
In 2001 Global Marine Inc. Merged with Global Santa Fe International Corp. In 2007 the company was aquired by Transocean LTC. The painting, “Global Marine Oil Workers”, was put on display at the University of Texas Collage of Engineering where Luigs earned a Bachelor of Science in petroleum engineering in 1957. Luig’s daughter, Susan Thompson kept the painting in her home after it was moved out of the university. The painting endures as an exceptional piece of Texas history and is available for purchase at Austin Galleries in Austin, Texas.
