Christopher Ross (sculptor)
Christopher Ross FRSA OSSML (May 9, 1931 – September 17, 2023) was an American artist, designer and collector of 19th century Imperial militaria. Ross has earned an international reputation for his 'animal' wearable fine art and portrait sculpture in the tradition of the French animalier. His work resists easy classification as he carved out a territory of his own that crosses categories—drawing on fine art, sculpture and design.
