Hi Paula!
I liked your opinion and I agree. As a matter of fact, I held a Memorial for the Death of the Necktie. I set-up a Greenwich Village outdoor art exhibit of my giant necktie sculptures. And, I guess it was fate that a traveling news crew from Scotland paused at my exhibit and asked if I would like to be interviewed and talk about the ties. I agreed and the producer gave me the mic. You can see and hear the clip on one of my web sites listed below (the third at the bottom-look for the link on the site and click). I started making bronze necktie sculptures in 1992. The NAA commissioned me to make their annual award (a sculpture on a marblebase-image on necktiesculpture.com) and I had the commission until they closed their doors. I am going to give you my contact numbers below, and you are also welcome to visit my studio.
I am also writing a book about my necktie sculptures: Necktie Sculpture. In 2005, I started making giant mixed-media pieces, which I call Contemporary Pop Urban Primitive Art (or Sculpture). I hope that you have time to look at my work and a little more time to let me know what you think.
My best to you,
Nick Daddazio
