Tim de Christopher
Tim de Christopher is a sculptor whose installations
appear in public and private settings across the United
States. Working primarily in stone and steel, his work
is deeply rooted in the tradition of architectural stonework
and sculpture. de Christopher, whose father was a designer
and grandfather a stone mason from Italy, was trained
at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture,
The Cooper Union, School of Art, and through independent
work and study in Italy. However, it was his experience
as an architect, designer, and carver for the Cathedral
of St. John the Divine in New York City that proved
to be a professional turning point.
In the dynamic and creative environment geared to
execute both the Cathedral's carvings and outside commissions,
de Christopher perfected technical skills while also
investigating aesthetic interests. His work continues
to reflect the centuries-old tradition of the architect,
mason, and sculptor of stone while expanding the vocabulary
and exploring new ways to re-dress traditional forms
with contemporary sensibilities. You can read more about
