Richard Marquis has an encyclopaedic collection of ‘ordinary’ things in his studio to inspire his whimsical, witty and ever-evolving body of work. In his oeuvre, simple forms belie complex techniques and sentimental stories; the Frosty series, for example, charts the annual holiday gifting tradition he shared with his wife – assemblage artist Johanna Nitzke Marquis – where they would create snow people with varying features and temperaments, which he would then gift to her once complete.

Meet the Maker:

Richard Marquis

Glassblowing extraordinaire Richard Marquis has an extremely prolific archive, including several hundred snowmen sculptures from his annual Frosty series. During the late 60s, he undertook a fellowship in Murano with Venini, where he picked up new techniques – the most prominent being the murrine cane, a learning he brought back to the States and consistently applied to his work moving forward.
