More about Golden Colors

At the height of the depression in the 1930s, Sam Golden joined his uncle Leonard Bocour as a partner in Bocour Artist Colors. Leonard and Sam produced hand- ground oil colors for artists. The shop on 15th Street in Manhattan became a hangout for artists from the 1930s through the early 1950s. Artists such as Barnett Newman, BIO:I grew up in Farmers Branch, Texas and studied , Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Helen close to home at the University of North Texas. I Frankenthaler and Jack Levine would go to the shop to visit earned a BFA focusing primarily on Studio Drawing with Leonard, talk to Sam and get paint. and Painting in 2013. Before achieving a BFA, my twin brother and I were traveling playing music and During one visit an artist gave Sam a honey like resin and signed a record contract to Island/Def-Jam Records in 2009. During my travels playing music, I asked if it could be made into paint. Sam recognized that this experimented in painting and photography and began idea would require experimentation as the early batches of to gather photographs of a small community where the new paint seemed to dry before the paint was applied. my family has a one-hundred-year old farm in Between 1946 and 1949, and after much trial and error, the Kopperl, Texas. I took interested in stories of the GOLDEN added 31,000 square feet to the facility in 1997 and farm, community and what is physically left behind in took down the "old barn". But the surge in growth, sales and that community. After experiencing an apartment fire employees that year was eclipsed by sadness when Sam where my family and I lost everything in 2014, my Golden died at age 82, on March 11, 1997. Sam left behind a work began to take a new role and meaning. My work legacy of participation in the creative process of artists and focuses on spaces that are left as they are, their materials. weathered and abandoned fragments of a time once lived. My paintings have been exhibited in Dallas/Fort first artist was ready for production. One of the Worth and have been featured in publications such as earliest artists to use the paint "Magna", was . Studio Visit Magazine and Friend of the Artist. Sam eventually developed a more popular waterborne version of the acrylic, "Aquatec." He continued to refine the chemistry of acrylic paints working with artists for the next 20 years to find what worked and what did not. After 30 years in the paint making business, Sam retired and moved to picturesque New Berlin, New York. Sam planned to fish and golf, but quickly grew bored with retirement and found himself "going to the barn to make paint for friends." At the age of 67 Sam decided to come out of retirement. Golden Artist Colors, Inc. began in June of 1980 in a 900 square foot, renovated barn. Sam, his wife Adele, son Mark and daughter-in-law Barbara Golden along with partner Chuck Kelly, founded a new company that would embody Sam's dedication to professional artists, work Sam described as simply "making tools for artists." The first four years were financially challenging. Sam and Adele used every resource they had to keep the business alive. Mark took weekly trips to New York City to sell products to artists and continue the conversation that had made Bocour so successful. The business began to succeed with very loyal support the product was gaining from professional artists. As the GOLDEN brand gained respect in the artist community, more and more retail stores began to sell GOLDEN product. To meet the growing demand another addition to the corporate headquarters was completed in 1990. The 13,000 square foot expansion added office, production and inventory space as well as a gallery. In July 1990, Golden Artist Colors celebrated its tenth anniversary and Sam Golden's 50th anniversary of paint making. The company received many local and national awards including the 1991 Business Arts Award by the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce and the Council of the Arts. Mark Golden received the 1996 Small Business Person of the Year from the US Small Business Administration, Golden Artist Colors was featured on the NBC Nightly News as a successful small business. In 1998 Mark Golden was selected by Fortune Magazine to appear in a video series on small business. GOLDEN added 31,000 square feet to the facility in 1997 and took down the "old barn". But the surge in growth, sales and employees that year was eclipsed by sadness when Sam Golden died at age 82, on March 11, 1997. Sam left behind a legacy of participation in the creative process of artists and their materials.
