Richard Royce studied at Stanley William Hayter’s famed experimental workshop in the early 1960s, after Hayter reestablished it in Paris following the war. Royce may have created this work there. The hallmarks of experimentation with tools and textures are found in the impressed fringe and the irregular-shaped plates, each showing a variety of techniques within the platemark boundaries. Royce was born in New York on August 18, 1941. He earned his BA and MA in fine art at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he studied printmaking with Alfred Sessler and Warrington Colescott, after which he went to France to study at Atelier 17 in Paris.
