—Palm Springs, CA—The Michael Lord Gallery is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of sculpture by Christopher Georgesco with an opening reception Friday, February 4, 2011 from 6-8 pm.
Christopher Georgesco, currently being coined a “New Modernist,” began his career as a sculptor in Venice, California, in 1968. His first solo show was deemed an overnight success by William Wilson, critic for the Los Angeles Times and was a hit with LA collectors. Georgesco's studio is now located in the desert, and his "Male Figure of Balzac" was recently acquired by the City of Palm Springs and installed on Palm Canyon Drive. His sculpture exists in public collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. This exhibition will showcase his new stainless steel sculpture as well as works from earlier in his career.
In her 1977 article titled “Psychological Manipulation” for Art News magazine, writer Melinda Wortz called artist Christopher Georgesco “one of Los Angeles’ most interesting young sculptors.” Selections from this article as well as an excerpt from writer Richard Armstrong’s article in a 1979 Art Forum on the sculptor are reprinted with images of the work in a new book by Lyn Kienholz. The book is called "L.A. Rising: SoCal Artists Before 1980" and is an encyclopedic documentation of over 600 artists who lived, worked and showed in L.A. between 1940 to 1980 including renowned artists such as John Baldessari and Ed Ruscha.
Georgesco's father, Haralamb Georgescu, is a Internationally known Modernist architect in the United States and Europe. His archives were aquired by the Getty Research Instiute in 2008, Ghristopher Georgesco's New Stainless Steel and Retropspective Sculpture Exhibition runs throughout Palm Springs Modernism Week (February 17- 27), which will also feature a special gallery exhibit on renowned architect Albert Frey (1903-1998), curated by Frey's longtime companion and co-author Jean Farrar. The architectural photography of Leland Y. Lee, as well as artworks by Mathew Sumich and Nel Ivancich, will also be on view.
The exhibition runs through March 3rd. MICHAEL H. LORD GALLERY features a wide range of contemporary art across all genres including painting, photography, video, installation, public and sculpture work. The gallery is located at 1090 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262. For more information, contact Sam Heaton at 760-699-8957 or visit online at www.michaelhlordgallery.com.
