Born in 1925, Mr. Fiore studied and taught at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Later teaching positions included those at the Philadelphia College of Art, Maryland College of Art and the National Academy.
At Black Mountain College, Mr. Fiore studied with Josef Albers and Ilya Bolotowsky. Later, he studied with Willem de Kooning, Jacob Lawrence and Jean Varda. Joseph Fiore was a member of the 10th Street Art Scene in the late ‘50s and ‘60s, a group of galleries that showed his work and the work of Alex Katz, Lois Dodd, Bernard Langlais, and others. He has had one-person shows in New York at Staempfli Gallery (reviewed by Fairfield Porter), Schoelkoph Gallery, Fischbach Gallery, and others. His work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, Corcoran Gallery and the National Academy, among others.
In May of 2001, Joseph Fiore was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Prize at the National Academy of Design in New York. The Carnegie Prize is awarded “for painting,” at the National Academy’s Members’ Show and carries a stipend.
