Chelsea.

He had his first one-person show in 1978 at Minsky's Gallery, London

and has shown regularly ever since at Thumb, Jill George, Curwen and

New Academy galleries in London, also at galleries in Germany and the

USA. He has been part of many mixed shows and has also shown in

major art fairs in London, Cologne and Los Angeles.

Richard Walker's work is in many public and private collections around

the world, including BP, Channel 4,Customs and Excise, The Crown

2004 (by Paul Holberton publishing). The book was launched at both

the Curwen Gallery and Zimmer Stewart Gallery with exhibitions of new

work.
