From Claire Iltis at Fleisher-Ollman:
Hi Libby and Roberta,
I don’t know if you’ve heard this already, but last night The Dufala Brothers were awarded the West Prize Grand Prize!
Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala, Ice Cream Tank Truck,, now part of the West Collection. You saw it first at Space 1026.
We had to tear them away from last minute preparations for their show at F/O, which opens tonight, in T-minus-six-hours (assuming they’re both still standing by then)…
-Claire
The prize is $25,000 cash on the barrelhead no strings attached and was awarded last night at the opening of the West Prize Finalists exhibit!!!
So here’s what’s happening tonight:
Trophy: Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala
February 27-March 28, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, February 27 from 6-8pm

You have documented great images. Especially I like Ice Cream Tank Truck, since I am documenting FOOD IMAGES IN THE ARTS as noted on my blog. My art pieces range from Chardin to Torres-Gonzalez, Proust to Capote and Toni Morrison, sculpture, film and a lot of conceptual and performance arts [See "Lick", a provocative performance in NYC with whipped cream. On my blog]
Do you have any biographical info on Vija Clemins and his “Eggs” 1964?
Hi Willard, thanks for the comment. I don’t know about Vija Celmins and her Eggs. Maybe someone else can pipe up here. Food and art are natural partners.
