Until his death in November 2000 you could often meet 85 year old Richard Gall in person at his gallery, 36 Rue Mathurin-Regnier and
he was generally there from 5 til 7pm every day except Sunday.
   There was a large amount of Richards' work on view and he loved to talk about it. You could buy a small « gravure » for as little as 300fr or an original unframed watercolour or gouache starting at around 1200fr. There were also some oils and cast bronze sculptures and the prices were always reasonable and negotiable.
   Many paintings were done in the forties and fifties and it is intersting to note the different styles and transitions. The work can generally be described as abstract but there are different approaches such as "gestual","contructivist" and the method of "simultanious contrast" made famous by Delaunay whose exhibition caused such a stir at Beaubourg recently and who was a friend of Richard.
