A portrait of Mark Tobey by the sculptor Ricci Riggenbach:
Tobey sculpture Tobey sculpture

The CMT office in Münster got these two images of a Tobey portrait sculpture which belongs to a Swiss private collector. It is a bronze patinated plaster, 40 cm high, titled Mark Tobey , signed Ricci Riggenb(ach) and dated Chexbres 64.

The bust might be made in order of the collector Theodor Ahrenberg who lived in Chexbres, Switzerland, and supported a guest atelier for artists like Tobey, Le Corbusier etc.

The photo (right) shows Tobey and Riggenbach discussing the portrait in Basel 1964
