Born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1936, Sidney moved to Colorado Springs as a child before attending Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire.

Sidney received the John Larkin prize for painting at Exeter in 1954, the year he graduated. He graduated from Princeton in 1958 and earned a Masters in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1967. After two years with a firm in Philadelphia he left the practice of architecture to paint full-time. While at Princeton, Sidney met the renowned contemporary artist, Frank Stella, then a fellow student and now a lifelong friend whom he describes as his “magnetic north” as a young painter. Sidney is recognized as an authority on Stella’s life and work since authoring Frank Stella: An Illustrated Biography (Rizzoli, 1995), begun over the course of a residency at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences in north Georgia. He has lived in Atlanta since the 1970s. See less
