Life and education

Richert earned a BFA from the University of Kansas in 1963 and an MFA from the University of Colorado in 1972. [3] His brothers and father were mathematicians, and at a young age he developed an interest in geometry. He first became aware of Buckminster Fuller's work in high school, and it has been a strong influence on Richert's own work ever since. [4]

Exhibitions

Richert has exhibited at venues across the U.S., including the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, California; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Denver Art Museum, MCA Denver, and Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Colorado; and Walker Art Center, Minnesota. [3] His work can be found in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Wichita Art Museum, Denver Art Museum, and Container Corporation of America, among other places. [5]
