I’m a self-taught artist based in New York City who has been making collage art for roughly thirty years. In the mid- to late nineties my work appeared in a number of group shows at Adam Baumgold Fine Art in Manhattan, culminating in a solo exhibition in 1998.Grace Glueck, writing in The New York Times, said: “[Mr. La Scala’s] collages, in which snippets of images from everywhere—even a piece of painting by Edward Hopper—are tumultuously juxtaposed. Max Ernst and others got there a long time ago, of course, but Mr. La Scala imposes his own will on this well-worn technique.”
