Publisher's Synopsis
"I learned more from watching Italo [Scanga] make a bowl of pasta than all the graduate seminars put together", declares Dale Chihuly in Dr M Susan Duval's revealing essay 'Brothers in Art'. The two artists have been friends since Chihuly's graduate student days at the Rhode Island School of Design in the late 1960s, sharing many bowls of pasta since then and nurturing each other aesthetically. Duval explores their personal and artistic relationship and concludes that "for Chihuly, Scanga is a palpable reminder of the European tradition, however hip the update." The catalogue accompanied the 1994 exhibition at the Susan Duval Gallery in Aspen, Colorado, that presented works by Scanga and Chihuly plus eleven collaborative works done between 1991 and 1994.
