He began his career in Venice, California in 1968, where he worked until 1980. His studio was located on Abbot Kenny, formerly West Washington Boulevard His first Show was at Newspace Gallery, Los Angeles, where he continues to be represented more than 35 years later.
He now lives on the outskirts of Palm Springs, where he maintains a sculpture garden of colorful 8-to-10-foot-tall (24 to 30 m) painted steel sculptures resembling magnified leaves or arcs and radii.
His first solo show was deemed an overnight success by William Wilson, critic for The Los Angeles Times, and was picked up by Los Angeles"s top collectors. Wilson also cited Christopher Georgesco as "pushing the art world"s masterpiece button" with his 10-foot-tall (30 m) Totemic Concrete & Steel Columns and Tripods.
His first solo show was followed by an exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art titled L.A.8. In an article in Art News, Richard Armstrong, the former curator of the Louisiana Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, California, cited Christopher Georgesco as being one of the most interesting sculptors in Los Los Angeles
Armstrong also claims Christopher Georgesco has few peers among Los Angeles Sculptors in an article in Art in America.
Georgesco has continued to work with the same cocabulary of shapes for the last 35 years. He exhibited in the Netherlands, and The Ludwig Forum Museum in Aachen, Germany. Books featuring C. Georgesco include Hip Hollywood Homes by Sue Holister.
