Michael Di Cerbo is much more than an artist that The Old Print Shop, Inc. has represented for years. He ran the second-floor gallery for many years, showing art to many of your clients and organizing exhibitions. A celebration of his life and work will be held in the gallery on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 1 to 4 pm. The exhibition will hang in the gallery for a month.
Michael Di Cerbo was born in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1947. He received his BFA and MFA from Pratt Institute in New York City and was a member of the National Academy of Art, the Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA), New York Artists Equity, Boston Printmakers Association, and Audubon Artists, Inc. He served as the President of SAGA two times.
The mystery and grandeur of New York City's environment have inspired his lifetime of work. Di Cerbo uses geometric forms and patterns of light and darkness to allude to the soaring architecture of the urban skyscraper. One can see the city from the perspective of an ant or an eagle, moving endlessly upward or falling away into infinite chasms. The images, though devoid of any overt signs of life, create an ambiance of mystery. One may find oneself alone in his compositions as an observer of a timeless cityscape.
