Individuals Across the County Share Snapshots of RF Robbins Art

We've continued to hear from individuals throughout the country in recent years who've reached out to share a glimpse of artwork by Raymond Francis Robbins in their private collections. For some, reaching out is often a journey to learn more about the artist's lifelong work.

"On occasion I think about the artist and have always wondered (about him)," wrote one Louisiana woman who owns two original charcoal drawings that have hung in her home for more than three decades. "And it is only now that I decided to look into Mr. R.F. Robbins... I am so happy that at last there is a picture in my head of this man."

Thank you to the many individuals who have reached out to us. It's wonderful to hear from you. Below are a few of the recent photos of artwork in private collections across the United States.
