Artist have always moved to areas with space and low prices. As a child Contemporary Artist Sculptor Christopher Georgesco would accompany his father to Palm Springs where he did architectural work for Howard Lapham. Although Christopher Georgesco grew up on the West Side of Los Angeles and spent most of his summers at the beach he returned to the desert of the Cochealla Valley on the outskirts of Palm Springs. By the year 1995 the city of Los Angeles had reached Grid Lock and Studio Leases and Homes went sky high. The vast open desert landscape also had the same medative effect to the Sculptor as the ocean.

One weekend by chance in 1995 Christopher Georgesco and his Dutch wife Maria took a trip to get away for the weekend to Palm Springs. Being that his wife was Dutch and only knew how to ride a Bicycle, Los Angeles was not the ideal place to commute to work. The space and easy going pace of the desert had a great appeal. They were on there way to San Diego when Maria started reading a pamphlet on Real estate. She could not believe that new homes were in the $45,000 to $70,000 range on large 1/4 acre lots.They turned there car around and went to the first real estate office they saw. They put a down payment down on the first new home they saw in a remote part of town in the outskirts of Palm Springs where Sculptor Christopher Georgesco could grind steel for his work and not bother anyone.

This was a completely spontaneous act. A survival mode built into the Psyche of the Artist. Move where there is spaces and property are cheap. Now in 2009 Galleries are sprouting up everywhere and again the tried and true prevails. The Artist move to where space is ample and cheap and soon the Boutiques, Restaurants and Galleries will follow and cause the one quit villages to turn into Boom Towns.

For the first time the father and son team of Haralamb Georgescu, Architect and his son Christopher Georgesco, Sculptor will appear together at the now Famous "Pasinetti Residence" on Summitridge in Beverly Hills. This Modern Mid Century Gem was saved by the Willow Glen Partners and the restoration with it's 21st Century updates was completed with the utmost consideration of the architect Haralamb Georgescu's vision of function and space.

Two sculptures "Triangulation" and "Camber Right" by the Architects son Christopher Georgesco were installed at the Residence formally designed and built for noted Italian writer Pierre Pasinetti by Haralamb Georgerscu in 1958.

The sculptures were installed in time for the upcoming photo shoot of the residence by noted photographer Julius Schulman in March of 2009. The house was the catalyst for a revival of Haralamb Georgescu's work 30 years after his passing. The Getty Research Institute became involved in the project and part of the architects archives were acquired by the Getty, the rest archives are now at the Mincu University in Bucharest, Romania.

By chance a exhibition of Haralamb Georgescu's work was planed last May 2008 for his Centennial Birthday, in his home country of Bucharest Romania by The Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism. Georgescu was forced to flee Romania in 1947 at the height of his carrier due to pressure of the Communist Regime. The opening reception was attended by Wim de Wit, Head of Special Collections and Visual Resources / Curator of Architectural Collections at The Getty Research Institute, Tim Braseth from Willow Glen Partners, Jeffrey Head, writer and Historian and Christopher Georgesco the Architects Son. All spoke at the Symposium which followed the exhibition.



Today he is considered one Romania's most important Modernist Architects and many of his Landmark Buildings have survived 2 wars and are in existence today. A Museum in Bucharest is currently being erected in memory of the architect titled "The Haralamb Georgescu, Frank Loyd Wright Museum of Art and Architecture". Although Georgescu built dozens of buildings in America since 1947 he never received the recognition of his Mid Century Contemporaries. He is now getting affirmation after 30 years since his passing receiving the attention he has deserved. The Pasinetti residence is the first Haralamb Georgescu residence to be collaborated with his son Christopher Georgesco / Sculptor.
