In Memoriam - Artist Richard Posner
(Excerpt from the March 22 Glass Quarterly Hot Sheet) Artist Richard Posner was found dead in his Tuscon, Arizona, apartment on Saturday, March 12, the apparent victim of a murder-suicide. According to a report in the Arizona Daily Star newspaper, the Tucson police determined that Posner's girlfriend, Sabine Schulte, shot Posner before turning the gun on herself. Posner was 62 years old.
After graduating with an MFA from the California College of the Arts in 1976, Posner embarked on a nearly four-decade long career he described on his resume as “self-employed independent public artist, architectural glass designer, ceramicist, environmental garden designer” that saw him receive four Fulbright fellowships, two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, and a Jackson Pollack-Lee Krasner Foundation fellowship. He participated in numerous group exhibitions in museums and galleries, including at the The Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. London’s Victoria and Albert Museum houses his work in their permanent collection, as do the Met and Corning.
