After Richard died his dealers The Fine Art Society continued to show and sell his work. They put on a number of exhibitions themselves and acted as advisers to others. Over the years there have in fact been a steady stream of Eurichs shown in exhibitions large and small put on by many galleries. Two were major retrospectives, The Edge of all the Land, in 1994 in Southampton, Bradford and Ipswich, and the centenary show Richard Eurich (1903-1992) Visionary Artist in 2003 in Southampton, Bournemouth and London.
Over time, especially after Richard's wife Mavis died in 1996, Richard's daughters Caroline and Philippa, advised by friends and other Eurich enthusiasts, became increasingly involved in managing and promoting Richard's legacy and took on the work of dealing with the estate collection.
In 2001 they commissioned Richard's grandson Rufus Biggs, to design and manage an official website. It was much admired and was a key factor in the name of Richard Eurich becoming better known. A little while after, they responded to a friend's suggestion that there should be a centenary exhibition and supported the intiative of Professor Edward Chaney and MA student Christine Clearkin to bring together the Richard Eurich (1903-1992) Visionary Artist exhibition and book.
This led later to Christine Clearkin's massive project to build a catalogue raisonné, which in turn, when it seemed impossible to get it published, led them to commission Lund Humphries to publish a critical monograph by Andrew Lambirth The Art of Richard Eurich and support Philippa's son Daniel and her partner Paul to modernize the website and create an online version of Christine's catalogue. They have also fairly recently appointed Waterhouse & Dodd to represent the estate.
Margery Clarke of The First Gallery, a long time promoter of Richard Eurich and his photographer son Crispin, urged Caroline and Philippa to propose a Eurich family exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery. They did and it was accepted. Covid 19 has delayed plans for this.
It all helps to spread the word about Richard's respected place in modern British painting.
