About Us:
Named after her sons, Frank and Richard, F and R Fine Arts, Inc. is located in San Ramon, California, one of the fastest growing areas in the East Bay. San Ramon is only a 40 minute drive from San Francisco.
Ritsuko Fujii Castle, founder of F & R Fine Arts, has been providing outstanding service in the fine arts field for over 20 years. During 1974-1990, Ritsuko was co-owner of a successful gallery featuring Fine Arts in Hong Kong while she was a resident there. In 1990, she moved to California where she opened another gallery in San Francisco. As a well-regarded promoter in the Japanese Woodblock Print industry, Ritsuko exhibited works by well-known Japanese artists at the Asian Pacific Shows in N.Y and S.F.
Today, Ritsuko is focusing on representing Contemporary artists and their fine artworks to the world through F and R Fine Arts, Inc. Recently, world-renown artist, Hajime Namiki, established an exclusive worldwide contract with F and R Fine Arts.
Richard Castle has been in the Japanese art world, concentrating in the field of contemporary arts and Ukiyo-e prints. Richard received his B.A. in Art History from Saint Mary's College of California.
After growing up in Hong Kong in a family of art dealers, they relocated to California and established a gallery in San Francisco for many years. Richard was exposed to a great majority of fine art and thus learned about the trade quite extensively. He has traveled broadly, using his time to visit numorous museums and private collections.
In 1997, Richard assisted at Christie's, New York learning the retail and customer side of the business while working first hand with clients and knowledgeable experts within the industry. His time at Christie's, New York truly added to his passion to be in the trade of buying and selling important pieces of art to clients and collectors alike.
Richard has worked with many of the top auction houses and museums including Christie's, Bonham and Butterfield and The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
