R.C. Gorman created Consuela (Consuelo) in 1991 in an edition of 90 — a papercast from the gallery’s collection. Gorman’s papercasts build his imagery in layered, cast paper — a relief medium whose soft shadows give the work a gentle, sculptural depth.
The piece is catalogued by the gallery with the details shown above, and its imagery reflects the themes collectors associate with Gorman’s work — the draped figure, the desert light, and the quiet dignity of his subjects. 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.
The gallery ships with care and can provide further photographs and condition details for this piece on request.
