Welcome to girrard.com, the definitive site for collectors and art dealers interested in the ‘Robert Girrard' period of Thomas Kinkade's career.
Thomas
Kinkade, the Painter of Light®™*, created a beautiful body of original artwork from 1984 to 1990 under the brush name ‘Robert Girrard'. Serious Kinkade collectors should consider learning all they can about his Girrard period and the works he created under the Girrard brush name. The Kinkade ‘Girrard' paintings may become the most collectible of Thom's career. A recent auction at Sotheby's in New York dramatically underscores the importance that earlier paintings can assume when the artist who created them later becomes famous. On May 5, 2004, Pablo Picasso's “Boy with a Pipe”, a representational painting from his Rose Period, set an all time record for sale at auction when it sold for $104 million.
The work was painted by Picasso in 1905, at age 24, shortly after he located in the Montmartre district of Paris. At that time, very few of Picasso's paintings were selling. It is also worth noting that this lovely painting bears no resemblance to Picasso's later cubism work. Visit our ‘about girrard' section to learn more about Thomas Kinkade's ‘Girrard' period.
