Carol, a 1986 R.C. Gorman papercast, issued in an edition of 150, belongs to the artist’s celebrated gallery catalog. Gorman’s papercasts build his imagery in layered, cast paper — a relief medium whose soft shadows give the work a gentle, sculptural depth.
Like the rest of the gallery’s holdings, this work reflects Gorman’s devotion to the Native American women and Southwest landscapes that made his name. Papercasts show to advantage under raking light, where the layered relief throws soft shadows across the surface. For collectors building around R.C. Gorman originals and fine editions — or the broader tradition of Southwestern art — this papercast is a natural fit.
Questions about this piece — condition, framing, or display — are welcome; the gallery team is happy to help.
