Morgan Fisher, Interior Color Beauty, Installation view, Bortolami Gallery, New York, NY, 2013

Bortolami Gallery is pleased to present Interior Color Beauty, an exhibition of new paintings by Morgan Fisher and his second one- person exhibition at the gallery. The 25 paintings are enlarged facsimiles of paint chips showing color combinations for interiors in the booklet Exterior and Interior Color Beauty, produced in about 1935 by General Houses, Inc., a manufacturer of prefabricated houses founded by the artist's father, Howard T. Fisher. The exhibition realizes what Morgan Fisher understood when he found the booklet in his father's files many years ago, that the groups of chips were paintings ready-made.
