The R.C. Gorman Chile Pepper Chorus Line charcuterie board is the gathering-maker of the collection. Three women stand in a row — their long dresses in warm red-orange and pink-purple hues — while green chili plants frame the warm ground around them. The artist’s red signature anchors the scene.
A lineup of figures brings rhythm to the table no matter what is served, and the colorful dress palette makes the board part of the decor. As with the rest of the gallery’s gift merchandise, it reproduces Gorman’s imagery on a functional object rather than serving as an original artwork.
It is a fun holiday or housewarming gift for hosts who love Southwestern art and a bit of pageantry — and it pairs with the Chili a la Mode and Navajo Chilis boards to complete the chili lineup.
