These 4 limestone works from the 1980s through the 1990s have found their way back to Tim from the Estate of artist Caroline Jennings. This will be the 1st time showing this work. Along with the sculptures are recent works on paper created using blocks from a painting kit his Father created back in the 1950s/60’s
For 40 years, Tim De Christopher has been carving in stone. He has a long list of public, private and corporate commissions - from carving gargoyles for the facade of the Jewish Museum in New York City to twenty-four 4’x4’ panels for the Huffington Library in Culver, Indiana. As well as a wide ranging exhibition history, including the DeCordova Museum and a 30 year retrospective at the Amy H. Carberry Gallery in Springfield, MA. Tim was born in 1954 and grew up outside of San Francisco. He attended The Cooper Union School of Art, and a year at Columbia University School of Architecture before being drawn away to follow his love of stone.
“We know our ancient history largely from artifacts in stone left behind by past civilizations. I want to follow that tradition but with a contemporary twist. My vision is to capture events, general and specific moments in time, that relay milestones in our shared human experience, events that have marked episodes in our collective history. “ - Tim Dechristopher
