This web site is for reference only. It
is a nonprofit venture dedicated to the lives of my grandparents, Henry L.
Richter, Sr. and Catherine M. Richter. The site was developed by my brother, Norman Richter, who passed away in January, 2011. Norman devoted much of his time the last years of his life researching and maintaining the information you will find here.
This site contains photographs of my grandparents artwork. About 60 paintings are still in the family between their two children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My father, Henry Jr., photographed about 50 of the paintings many decades ago. Norman went to many places in California and midwestern states in the past few years to photograph our grandparents works in private homes and public buildings. And some photographs were taken in Gunnison, Colorado, during the 2004 mural dedication. The rest of the paintings were found by searching the web and contacts with current owners. My grandfather signs his art Henry L. Richter. We have never seen any art signed without the middle L. or just H. Richter. And at the moment nothing is for sale here.
I will not give any advice on selling any art as that is not the intent of this site. Henry Sr. and Catherine were the artists in the family, the rest of us have other vocations. I am interested in finding other paintings by my grandparents to add to this virtual collection. Please send information or inquires to the email below.
