Richard Wright Portrait

Richard Wright is the founder and president of Wright, the innovative auction house specializing in 20th century design. With thirty years of experience in the industry, Richard has established whole new fields of collecting and is a pivotal figure in generating scholarship and value for modern design. Under Richard’s leadership, Wright has brought some of the finest works of modernism to the market, including a record-breaking coffee table by Isamu Noguchi which sold for $630,000 and Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House #21, which sold for $3.2 million. Wright holds over twelve auctions and exhibitions each year, and has locations in Chicago and New York. Wright’s most recent auction, Important Italian Glass: The Collection of Dimitri Levas, was the highest-grossing sale for the category of Italian glass in market history, achieving over $4 million.
