Atelier 20th Anniversary

Celebrating 20 Years of the Atelier Collection

This year marks two decades since the debut of Richard MacDonald’s Atelier Collection—a body of work that distills the artist’s mastery into an intimate scale without sacrificing the grandeur, emotion, and detail that define his larger sculptures. 

 

Launched in 2005, the collection draws from MacDonald’s celebrated themes—graceful dancers, dynamic athletes, and allegorical figures—capturing moments of movement and emotion in exquisite detail. Each piece reflects the artist’s deep study of anatomy, gesture, and narrative, while the smaller format invites collectors to live with these works in personal spaces, bringing the poetry of the human form into daily life.

Over the past 20 years, the Atelier Collection has become a touchstone for collectors worldwide, offering rare opportunities to own works that embody both the intimacy of the studio and the timeless artistry of Richard MacDonald. As we celebrate this milestone, we honor not only the collection’s enduring beauty but also the inspiration it continues to bring to those who encounter it.

    Atelier: A Legacy in a Word

    The word atelier—French for “artist’s studio”—evokes a place where skill, tradition, and vision converge. In keeping with this spirit, MacDonald conceived the Atelier Collection as a way to share his artistic legacy with a broader audience while preserving the essence of each form. These works, meticulously cast in bronze and finished by hand, are not simply reduced versions of monumental sculptures; they are reimagined compositions, refined to reveal new subtleties when experienced at close range.

     

    In the classical European tradition, an atelier was more than just a workspace. It was a creative sanctuary — often bustling with apprentices, models, and the hum of tools — where ideas took form and artistic mastery was passed down through generations. This heritage of dedication, discipline, and artistry is reflected in Richard MacDonald’s Atelier Collection, where each sculpture embodies the intimacy and precision of the studio environment that inspired its name.
