Artist Biography Label for Ronald Robles

This item is an original, typed artist biography and curriculum vitae for Ronald Robles, affixed to a brown corrugated cardboard backing. The document is printed on off-white paper and includes a handwritten name in blue ink at the top reading 'RONALD ROBLES'. The text outlines Robles' extensive career from his birth in 1937 through 1982, detailing his education under Sasha Brastoff, his work in the film industry with Edith Head, his tenure as a dancer, and his significant roles as a landscape and interior designer for high-profile clients like Zsa Zsa Gabor and William Randolph Hearst, Jr. The label also lists exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, and the Kennedy Center. Its condition is poor, showing significant jagged losses, tearing, and insect damage (likely silverfish) particularly on the right and bottom edges. There are visible adhesive stains and the paper is brittle and yellowed with age. At the bottom right, there is a logo for 'HAND GRAPHICS Ltd., The Finest in Professional Hand Lithography and Etching,' based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, indicating this was likely originally attached to the back of a framed piece of his artwork or a print.
