From April to June, 2007...

Thank you for a very special event!


The borough of Fort Lee, New Jersey, recently honored the generations of artists
in the Ortlip family with an extraordinary town-wide exhibit entitled


FOUR GENERATIONS OF ART:
Paul Ortlip and His Fort Lee Heritage




The exhibit was shared by several borough institutions, which included a special weekend in April that saw opening receptions at the three main venues, plus an historic jitney tour which visited the sites of several public installations of Ortlip art.

The wide-ranging exhibit, which ended on June 10th, included works on loan from the Smithsonian Institution, the U.S. Naval Historical Center, several private collections, and the artist's personal collection.

The wonderful show was host to the unveiling of Paul Ortlip's current portrait of NASA astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commemorating the 35th anniversary of the last manned lunar mission, Apollo XVII.

The exhibit was on display from April 20 through June 10, 2007.

A very special walking tour of the exhibit with Paul Ortlip was held on June 9th at the Fort Lee Public Library and the Fort Lee Museum, followed by a reception with the artist.


The exhibit was on display from April 20 through June 10, 2007.
A big thank you to all who were able to attend the many exciting events!
