-This Interview describes Christopher Georgesco's Sculpture, its personal Intent, Derivation and Direction . It is approximately 3.5 minutes long and encapsulates the Sculptors thought process which he has explored since 1968 when he began his carrier in Venice Beach, California. He currently works in Palm Springs where he lives with his Dutch Wife Maria Verstappen and spend part of the year at their home in Holland just outside Amsterdam.
-Christopher Georgesco is included in Lyn Kienholz's New Art Encyclopedia, "L.A. Rising: SoCal Artist before 1980" which covers a span of Artist who showed in Galleries, Museums and Public Places in the years 1945-1980.
-This book is now the Best Source of Information on the Los Angeles Artist who helped carve out The West Coast as a place rivaling New York. The book Illustrates Los Angeles as a Hot Bed of Ideas and Concepts as Important as any in Contemporary Art.
- Los Angeles has its own unique characteristics and Individualized Movements including "Light and Space" which was spawned by it's unique sun drenched environment. Unlike the heavy environment of The East Coast, Los Angeles's has proved itself to be a Highly Experimental and has contributed greatly to the World of Contemporary, Conceptual and Experimental Arts. "L.A. Rising: SoCal Art before 1980" is must have book for anyone involved with Contemporary Art. Lyn Kienholz is to congratulated on doing  a thorough and quality publication which never existed before. Its a must have book for Art History Students as well as Artist themselves.
