Sculpture
Toparovsky moved to Los Angeles in 1981 and began working in bronze and cast iron. He has created panels, figures and objects from nature as elements for mixed-media installations that include architecture, water and landscapes. With this work he has designed private gardens as well as large-scale public art projects. In 1998, he was commissioned to create the life-size bronze crucifix for the main altar of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels which was consecrated in September 2002.,
Toparovsky lives and works in Los Angeles and Milan.

Famous quotes containing the word sculpture:
“I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You should go to picture-galleries and museums of sculpture to be acted upon, and not to express or try to form your own perfectly futile opinion. It makes no difference to you or the world what you may think of any work of art. That is not the question; the point is how it affects you. The picture is the judge of your capacity, not you of its excellence; the world has long ago passed its judgment upon it, and now it is for the work to estimate you.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
