R V Stedman, son of the company founders, graduated from the Jim Graham School of Auctioneering in Palm Beach, Florida in 1981 and was profiled later that year by Gannett Newspapers as the youngest auctioneer in New York State. A graduate of Harpur College with a degree in Art History, he authored a popular series of articles on 20th century design for the Antiquers Guide and was a fine arts writer for the Hudson Valley and Berkshire Antiquer publications. His catalogue citations have been included as price reference and art market data by American and European publishers including ADEC, AskArt, artnet, Art & Auction and Metropolitan Home and his research has been contributed to reference books on French printmaking, the Garvan Collection catalogue of Yale University, Turner Reuters Animal and Sporting Artists in America, the archives of the Albany Institute of History and Art and Davenports fine art reference encyclopedia.

He helped organize an exhibition of WPA printmaking and sculpture exhibited at SoHos FirstHalf gallery that appeared at Sanford Smiths premier Modernism show. He has exhibited at antiques and fine arts fairs from Boston to Miami as well as in Las Vegas and at the first ever Manhattan antiques fair focusing on art and design of the 1960s. During the 1990s he served as adjunct faculty for the New York State Public School System and in 2002 authored the NAA-published "ABC's of Fine Art Auctioneering" audio book.

Beginning as a charity auction specialist in 1981 and providing auctioneering and auction exhibition cataloging support to over a dozen regional auction houses for over a decade, the company started holding fine arts auctions including events in Westchester County in 1996. During that year they became one of the earliest auction and appraisal firms to recognize the importance and potential of the internet and were one of the world's first online appraisal companies in any professional field. In 1997 they conducted the first online-only auction advertised in Antiques & the Arts Weekly.

Unbelievable people!
I bought this as a gift for my artist girlfiend, so I'm new at this. I got a great deal on an incredible piece of artwork. When it came to shipping, I thought it was a little high. They worked with me to get to an amount that was in line with the purchase. Couldn't ask for better people. Thanks, I mean it. Seriously, the packaging was bulletproof.

GREAT AUCTION EXPERIENCE.
This was my first time bidding with Richard Stedman Services and I must say it was a great experience. I had a question about the condition of a painting and received a quick, thorough and professional response. I arranged to pick up in person and was very pleased with the condition of the painting which was exactly as described. I will certainly be watching there future auctions.
