It must be every artist’s dream. You’ve spent your life creating things of beauty and meaning but you enter your grave, relatively unknown. But then, fellow artists see the great value of what you have achieved and refuse to let you sink into obscurity. They bring you back. This dream has become a reality for the artist and craftsman Emil Milan thanks to the efforts of three colleagues, Phil Jurus, Barry Gordon and Norm Sartorius. These three fellow craftsmen have been researching the life and work of Milan, organizing shows of his work and bringing him to the attention of new audiences across the country.
