Roussel Studios became a family enterprise when Marc Roussel (Christine's son) joined the firm as partner in 1990. Marc's background is in art history, metal work, sculpture engineering and technology; he apprenticed at an art foundry where he worked for over ten years and became lead founder. Before joining CRI Marc was president of an independent art conservation company that was involved in major conservation projects either jointly with Roussel Studios or as a separate entity. Marc is currently President of Roussel Studios supervising all aspects of the business. The company offers a full range of services to a number of major estates, a reigning monarch and three central New York art institutions with extensive collections including iconic monuments of national and international importance. Conservation and maintenance projects include some of the world's most celebrated sculptures including; Henry Moore's Reclining Figure at Lincoln Center, D.C. French's Forward atop Wisconsin's State Capital dome, AT&T's iconic sculpture Spirit of Communication, Rockefeller Center's Atlas and Prometheus, as well as working on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty.
